White Chocolate Apricot Cranberry Bark

I love how amazing new food trends are being created on internet websites like TikTok and some of them go viral and get loads of attention.

One of them that is making a huge buzz is around what is called “bark” - layers of yummy foods placed in flat layers on top of each other then frozen. Once frozen the “bark” it is broken or cut into squares.

The bottom layer is usually something that can be sliced in flat pieces like chocolate, cottage cheese, banana slices, strawberry slices or even dates.Then layers of yummy things like dried fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter and coconut is added to create a simple and healthy dessert or snack.

I have tried a few of these recipes recently and they do not disappoint. Its not every day that a food trend exceeds my expectations, but this viral white chocolate bark is definitely a winner.

White chocolate bark is the unexpected dessert you will love making and eating! And these bright, delicious dried fruits (always in season!) will brighten up your day! I found myself reaching for small bite after small bite of this white chocolate bark it was just so more-ish.

Bark is pretty much the easiest sweet treat you can possibly make. Endless flavor possibilities, 2-3 ingredients, 5 minutes to put together and 20-30 minutes to chill. It’s hard to even call this a recipe. In fact, there are really no measurements needed.

You can swap out the dried fruit and nuts for whatever fits the occasion or you have on hand. Truth be told, it’s a great way to use up those last little bits in your cupboard!

I will warn you, however, that this white (or dark or milk) chocolate bark is addictive. The little pieces just never seem to quite satisfy my cravings but you might have more will power than me!

You could make different batches with your favourite flavour combinations. I highly recommend candied ginger if you have it. I’m going to add it to the next batch because I have some pantry stocking to do….

Chocolate bark is the easiest treat to make. Just melt, mix, spread and you are done! Plus, it makes a great gift!

This beautiful fruit and nut, white chocolate bark is not only incredibly delicious, but also the perfect plant-based, no-bake dessert or treat you can snack on without a guilty conscience. Try the easy recipe and get inspired by this fabulous trend!
