🔪How to Make Galaxy Chocolate Bark
Melt the black chocolate per package directions and spread over a parchment lined baking sheet.
Melt each of the other colours of chocolate and put dots of it all over the black chocolate.
Take a knife and swirl the colours around.
Make sure you don’t over swirl the colours, you still want to see plenty of the black chocolate.
Sprinkle the nonpareils and the gold stars all over the chocolate.
Let the chocolate harden and then break it into pieces.
This Galaxy Bark is a fun treat to make with the kids!

- Use a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolate to create that cool, cosmic swirl effect.
- Add edible glitter or star-shaped sprinkles to make your galaxy bark extra sparkly and magical.
