💭 Tips
This is a super simple recipe, but we have some tips to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch.
- Be sure to stir your chocolate while melting for even heating and to prevent scorching.
- You can serve the freshly-coated popcorn in a bowl or you can spread it out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to let it harden.
- White chocolate almond bark is safe. It has ZERO almonds or any other nuts in it.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Absolutely. We have no idea why it’s called almond bark, as it has no almonds in it.
It’s a chocolate-like confection made with vegetable fat rather than cocoa butter. It’s flavored to taste like chocolate, but it melts, coats, and hardens more easily than chocolate.
Almond bark melts evenly and smoothly and hardens beautifully without the need to temper it the way you have to (or should) temper chocolate.
