It’s Three Ingredients, Super Easy, and Super Yum. This White Chocolate Bark Beats ‘Em All.
“That white chocolate bark thing that you made…what is it??”
I don’t think anyone who takes a bite of this bark expects it to be this good…when I have these in my freezer, I’d avoid getting fleishig just so I can have a piece of this bark as my sweet treat in the evening. It could be one of the most addictive treats I make. I made this for my Chanukah party, and I’m making them again for an upcoming melave malkah…and they’ve made it into mishloach manos too! I recently made these with candy crystals instead of crushing rock candy and it was so much more convenient.
- 3 (3.5 ounce) bars dairy white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup Rice Krispies
- ½ cup crushed rock candy or candy crystals
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (glass is best, ceramic is also fine). Microwave at very short intervals of 10-15 seconds each, depending on the strength of your microwave. Stir between every interval. Keep melting and stirring until white chocolate is smooth. Do not try to melt the white chocolate faster.
- Stir in Rice Krispies and rock candy, reserving some to sprinkle on top.
- Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it thinly. Sprinkle with reserved candy. Place in the refrigerator or freezer to set.
- Break bark into shards once bark is cold and hard.
This looks delicious! Not a huge fan of white chocolate, I prefer milk or dark but would definitely want to try this sometime. Where can you buy the candy crystals?
Thanks!
i saw the candy crystals in Oh nuts sold by the pound
They only carry it purim time they said. But have the sticks year round.
What brand of White Chocolate is best to melt? I have a hard time many time it becomes one big glop
We have a post on how to melt white chocolate successfully

@Dinah. Candy crystals are easier to work with (The Peppermill and Oh Nuts both carry), but usually I just crush rock candy/swizzle sticks because I find those more accessible near me.
@BK. See this post on how to successfully melt white chocolate. https://betweencarpools.com/melt-white-chocolate-successfully-every-time/ . I use the 3.5 ounce bars. Alprose, Schmerling, Geneve, and even Elite work fine. I’m sure Camille Bloch would be fine too but haven’t used it recently (I usually stock up when a brand is on sale since white chocolate is usually pricey; there’s lots of Purim sales now). I don’t know about Shufra.
2 people who sell chocolate creations mentioned that shufra melts well. It worked great for me last week bh using the bcp method of 15 seconds in the microwave. Anything I can sub the candy crystal with? I want to make a more grown up version- these are cute/colorful but probably more popular with kids?
@Suri NOPE! Not kiddy at all! Adults love these! You don’t need to make them colorful. The candy crystals come in clear/white too. I’ve done it with both crushing rock candy/swizzle sticks or using the loose candy crystals (from Peppermill or Oh Nuts!).
The ones from Peppermill you mean the colored sugar crystals?
Can I make these in advance and freeze?
How can I make these with dark pareve chocolate? Anything I can add to the chocolate to give it better taste?
Can these be cut into shapes or once they are they can only be broken into shards?
I’ve only broken into shards.
You can prob cut into shapes if you heat up the cookie cutter so it melts through the chocolate
Hi! These look delicious and perfect for my mishloach manot! Do these freeze well? and what is the best way to store them? Thanks!
Yum! Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
Hey, would this be good with brown milk chocolate, not white?
Would this be good with sprinkles on top?
and how about crushed corn flakes instead of or in addition to the rice krispies?
Hi –
I’m sorry, I never tried any other variation. For this version, the crushed rock candy and Rice Krispies are a winning combo. If you try other variations and they work out well, let us know!
