White Chocolate Lemon Drop Bark Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with foil; set aside. In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt baking chips; stir until smooth. Stir in 2/3 cup crushed candies; spread into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining candies. Cool. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. , Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.
• Place the pistachios in one layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Place three quarters of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. (Time it with your watch for accuracy.) Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
• Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled pistachios, the cranberries, and apricots. Press the nuts and fruit lightly so they will set in the chocolate. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roast almonds on 1 baking sheet in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Microwave white chocolate melting wafers and butter in a microwave-safe bowl on medium-high for 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Microwave until completely melted, 20 to 30 seconds more. Add almond extract and stir until smooth. Stir in toasted almonds.
• Spread chocolate mixture evenly onto the second baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until hardened, about 1 hour. Break into small pieces by hand.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8 by 10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get into the chocolate.
• Place the walnuts in 1 layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool and then chop roughly into large pieces.
• Place 3/4 of the chocolate in a glass bowl and place it in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. (Don't trust your microwave timer - time it with your watch.) Stir with a rubber spatula. Put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again. Continue to heat and stir every 30 seconds until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately, add the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds at a time.)
• Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly into the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled walnuts, the cranberries and apricots. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm, or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two batches until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 3 to 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• 1. Crush one box or package of lemon drops until you have coarse chips. (I put mine in a sturdy plastic bag and pounded them with a mallet. Great for working out frustrations!)
• 2. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over med. heat until all melted. Spread melted chocolate evenly on sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. Sprinkle crushed lemon drops over surface of melted chocolate and gently work them in, using spatula. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes. Break up into pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs; press into bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until crusty and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust.
• Beat eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest together until the eggs are beaten. Stir remaining 1/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup sugar into the egg mixture; pour over the chocolate chips and crust.
• Bake until set in the middle, about 15 minutes more. Cool slightly in baking dish set on a wire cooling rack. Sift confectioners' sugar over the bars and cool completely before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Line a 13"x9" rimmed baking sheet with a smooth sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• To candy the lemon zest, in medium saucepan place 1 cup of water & 1 cup of granulated sugar, & bring to boil.
• Add zest & cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes, or until water is yellowish & zest is translucent.
• Drain water & spread candied zest on wax paper to dry several minutes, then coarsely chop zest.
• In microwave OR in a double boiler, melt bittersweet chocolate, then pour on prepared baking sheet. Use spatula to spread chocolate in a thin layer, then place in refrigerator to set.
• In microwave OR in a double boiler, melt white chocolate. Stir in lemon extract or oil, then, if desired, add several drops of yellow candy food coloring.
• Pour white chocolate on top of dark chocolate & smooth into a thin layer.
• While top layer is still wet, sprinkle chopped lemon zest on top & gently press into the chocolate.
• Place tray in refrigerator to set.
• When set, break into irregular pieces & serve.
