Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why choose candy melts over regular chocolate?
Candy melts are a sure thing—they harden well and don’t need the fuss of tempering like chocolate does.
- → What’s the best way to keep the bark fresh?
Keep it in a container with no air at room temp, or pop it in the fridge if you want it to last even longer.
- → Can I try out other types of cookies?
Totally! Swap in other sandwich cookies or even graham crackers to switch things up.
- → Why should I line the pan first?
If you use baking paper, nothing sticks to the pan, and it’s super easy to lift out the bark once it’s set.
- → How long does the bark last?
At room temp, it’s good for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container. In the fridge, it’ll stay fresh even longer.
