What is Unicorn Bark?

Unicorn bark is a whimsical twist on classic chocolate bark. Instead of dark or milk chocolate, you’ll use melted white chocolate tinted with food coloring. Swirl the colors together, top with sprinkles, candy, or edible glitter, and you’ve got a snack that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
• Pink, purple, and blue gel food coloring (or your choice of colors)
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
• Edible glitter or shimmer dust (optional, for extra sparkle)
• Mini marshmallows, candy pearls, or star-shaped candies (optional toppings)

Supplies for Unicorn Bark

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
3. Divide the melted chocolate into 3–4 bowls and tint each with a different food coloring.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the colored chocolate onto the parchment and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer.
5. Sprinkle the top with rainbow sprinkles, edible glitter, and any fun candy toppings.
6. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set. Break into pieces and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Unicorn Bark

• Use gel food coloring, not liquid, to avoid seizing the chocolate.
• Don’t over-swirl or the colors will muddy—less is more!
• Customize with themed sprinkles to match your party (stars, hearts, pastel pearls).
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Fun Variations

Unicorn bark is endlessly customizable. Try these variations:

• Galaxy Bark: Use black, navy, and purple swirls with silver star sprinkles.
• Mermaid Bark: Add teal and lavender colors with seashell sprinkles.
• Holiday Unicorn Bark: Try red, green, and gold for a Christmas twist.
