FAQs
Can I use mint chocolate chips instead of white chocolate and mint extract?
Yes, you can substitute mint chocolate chips, but keep in mind the flavor and sweetness may differ. You might want to adjust the amount accordingly.
Is it necessary to freeze the bark?
Freezing helps the bark set quickly and evenly, making it easier to break into pieces. You can refrigerate it instead, but it may take longer to harden.
