Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 12 ounces almond bark
- 12 ounces dark blue candy melts
- 12 ounces light blue candy melts
Toppings
- 8-10 shark gummies
- 1 tablespoon white sprinkles (or shark themed sprinkles)
Instructions
- Prepare Melting Bowls: Place the almond bark in one microwave-safe bowl, dark blue candy melts in another, and light blue candy melts in a third bowl.
- Microwave Melting: Heat each bowl separately in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring well after each interval, until the candy melts and almond bark are fully melted and smooth.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Drop Candy Mixture: Spoon heaping amounts of the melted almond bark and candy melts onto the lined baking sheet, creating an irregular pattern or clusters.
- Swirl Candies: Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the dark blue and light blue candy melts together, creating a marbled effect with the almond bark.
- Add Toppings: Scatter 8-10 shark gummies evenly over the candy while it is still melted. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of white or shark-themed sprinkles on top for an extra festive touch.
- Set Candy: Allow the candy bark to set at room temperature until firm, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill and speed up the setting process.
- Serve: Once fully set, break the bark into pieces and serve.
Notes
- To avoid burning the candy melts, melt in short microwave intervals and stir thoroughly.
- The swirl effect can be customized by using other colors of candy melts to match different themes.
- Store leftover candy bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Use parchment or wax paper for easy removal of the candy bark from the baking sheet.
