    Why you'll love this recipe

    This beautiful fall chocolate bark is made with white chocolate spread on a wax paper lined pan to create a blank canvas.

    Melted dark or milk chocolate is piped on to form preschool-esque tree trunks with branches. Leaf sprinkles do all of the decorating, turning the bare trees into fall trees, and boring chocolate bark into a special fall treat or gift.

    Cut into individual portions and wrapped in cellophane candy bags, this White Chocolate Bark makes a lovely hostess gift, or a sweet surprise for each place setting at the Thanksgiving table.  

    Care packages including Thanksgiving Chocolate Bark, can help bring the holidays to loved ones away from home.

    Tips

    • Use tempered chocolate, melting chocolate (compound chocolate) or candy melts for the dark chocolate trees. Using untempered chocolate will cause the trees to get white spots, called bloom, when the fat in the chocolate separates onto the surface.
    • Cut the bark at room temperature to avoid shattering.

        Thanks! I'm so glad you clicked through to see a bigger photo! One of the best things about this bark (besides how good it tastes) is that though it looks impressive, it's actually fast and easy to make!

      I hope your Thanksgiving was lovely and that your mashed potatoes turned out! It's so nice that you asked new family members about their traditions - it can be easy for that to be forgotten! Love this fun white chocolate bark - it's definitely perfect for Thanksgiving and to celebrate fall as well! Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party, Wendy!

        Thanks, April! The mashed potatoes DID turn out this year, thank goodness! I redeemed myself after a dismal attempt last year. 🙂 As one's family expands with in-laws or future in-laws, taking the time to include everyone is so important. I want everyone to feel welcome and loved. 🙂 Thanks for hosting Hearth and Soul. There are always great ideas there!
