Blackberry Bark

I love making homemade candies for my family. Even when life is hectic I can find time to make bark candy because it comes together so fast, though it does require a couple hours to chill. Placing the candy in cookie cutters to harden adds a little magic to an otherwise simple treat, making it look like I went to much more trouble than I actually did.

This is a variation on my Chocolate Raspberry Bark. I replaced the dark chocolate with white chocolate and the raspberries with blackberries. Both raspberries and blackberries are popular with my family, but blackberries keep much better, so I am more likely to buy them than other berries because I don’t have to worry about quickly using them before they turn.

I chilled the white chocolate and blackberry bark until it was solid enough to be removed from the cookie cutters. Then I used a Frosting Decorator to pipe more white chocolate over the top of the blackberries.
