This truffle bark is just like cake pops but in a different form. They make great gifts.

I’m so not a girly girl. Like, I didn’t play with dolls when I was little. Instead, I played cars and sports with my brothers. I’ve never been the froo-froo-girly-pink-and-lace type! But, I love this pink chocolate bark! It’s actually pink because it’s strawberry flavored, so you could make any cake flavor that you like or want to match the holiday.
Since normally I don’t even get the opportunity to do anything pink, Valentine’s Day will be a great reason to indulge my pink creativity! After seeing this made in red velvet, I knew it would be great with strawberry. Bonus, it’s both delicious and easy!

A few tips when you’re making this:
- Use good chocolate. Always. {I use Wilton Chocolate Melts or Ghirardelli usually.}
- The bottom chocolate layer should be thicker than the top for easier cutting. I used 3/4 bag of the chocolate melts for the top chocolate layer.
- You can make the cake by scratch or use a cake mix.
- Use an off-set spatula to spread the chocolate. You’ll find it much easier to get a thin, even layer using one.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect!

Ingredients
- 1 strawberry cake baked according to package directions and cooled
- 12 ounces vanilla cake frosting
- 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts
- 2 Tablespoons Crisco shortening
- optional: sprinkles nuts, mini chocolate chips, or colored sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. They need to be larger than 9×13.
- Crumble cooled cake in a large bowl. Mix cake with entire container of frosting.
- Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoon shortening to the candy melts.
- You'll need 12 ounces total of white chocolate. (This is one full bag plus 3/4 cup out of another bag. Of course, you can use more if you want.) Melt this white chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals. Stir well between each interval. You want the chocolate completely melted and smooth.
- Pour chocolate evenly on the two prepared parchment paper lined pans.
- Spread evenly.
- Allow to set and harden at least 30 minutes.
- Divide cake mixture evenly on two layers of chocolate and spread and press into a even layer. You can use a off-set spatula or your fingers for this.
- Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon shortening to remaining chocolate.
- Melt remaining chocolate and carefully pour over cake mixture. Carefully spread to cover the cake in a thin, even layer.
- Add sprinkles before chocolate sets.
- Allow to cool and set. You can leave sitting on the counter-top or speed the process by placing in the refrigerator or freezer.

This looks really good. Reading the ingredient makes it sound even better, however, I wish there were step-by-step PICTURE instructions. I’m not so sure about step 4 and would like to see step 8. Just so that I won’t mess up. I think this would be really good for a party.
I rewrote and tried to clarify.
