Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate chips or baking chocolate
- 1/2 cup (60 g) dry red velvet cake mix
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
- Optional toppings: white chocolate drizzle, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup (60 g) of dry red velvet cake mix with 1 tablespoon (14 g) of softened unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Place 8 oz (225 g) of white chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time until smooth and glossy (about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
- Stir 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate.
- Gently fold the red velvet crumb mixture into the melted white chocolate, distributing evenly without overmixing.
- Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the bark is completely set and firm.
- Remove from fridge and break into irregular pieces using hands or a knife. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Melt white chocolate slowly and stir often to avoid burning. Butter in crumbs prevents sogginess. Spread bark quickly before chocolate sets. Store refrigerated in airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage. Let bark sit at room temperature for a few minutes if too hard to break.
