Photo: Crunchy White Chocolate-Orange Bark Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound good quality white chocolate, chopped (recommended: Callebaut)
- 1 teaspoon pure orange extract
- Orange paste food coloring
- 1 cup crisped rice cereal
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Create a double boiler by putting a glass bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Add the chocolate and orange extract and stir until melted and smooth. Do not overheat white chocolate or it will seize.
Remove the bowl from the pan and wipe the condensation from the bottom. Put about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate in a small bowl and tint it with the food coloring.
Add the puffed rice and raisins to the large bowl of chocolate and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and with an offset spatula, spread it to an even thickness, about 1/4-inch. Tap the pan firmly several times on the counter to settle the chocolate. With a small spoon or fork, drizzle stripes of orange tinted chocolate over the surface of the bark.
Refrigerate the chocolate for 1 hour to completely set before breaking it into large pieces. Serve immediately or wrap in cellophane bags tied with festive ribbon and keep on hand as a quick hostess gift!
Cook's Note: If the orange tinted chocolate gets too firm to drizzle, stir in about 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil until smooth and loosened.

Yum! I used apricots instead of the orange and pine nuts instead of the rice. Next time I'll definitely add some kind of liqueur or extract to bring out the apricoty flavor. No food coloring for my kitchen, but the taste was incredible. I LOVE how creamy the white chocolate was.

This recepie was so easy and is sooooo good! I forgot the orange extract, so I used grand marnier liqueur and a little orange rind in it's place. Also I used dried cranberries and red food coloring because I made it for valentines day. I love chocolate covered marshmallows so I cut a few minis in half and added them as well. The textures, the crunch of the rice crisp, the softness of the marshmallow and the chewiness of the dried cranberry were fabulous together! I took the advice from another review and used a combination of white chocolate chips with a bag of Lindt/LINDOR white chocolate balls. Sooo Easy and Sooooo Good!

We loved it! We're not raisin fans so we skipped those. I'm going to make a ton to hand out to family for Christmas gifts and use red and green food coloring for the drizzle.
