How To Make Easy Air Fryer Chocolate Bark

Step One: Line a pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray, or brush with olive oil.

Step Two: Spread the chocolate chips into the pan, and set the air fryer temperature to 300 degrees F, using the air fryer setting, and set cook time for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate chips are melted. 

Step Three: Remove the pan, and then stir the melted chocolate using a spoon. Immediately sprinkle the toppings over the melted chocolate, and press them down so they stick to the chocolate. 

Step Four: Refrigerator until the chocolate and toppings have set. Use your hands to cut the bark up.

Easy Air Fryer Chocolate Bark Recipe Tips

• Use good-quality chocolate so the bark melts smoothly and tastes rich
• Keep the air fryer temperature low to avoid burning the chocolate
• Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal
• Spread the chocolate evenly so it sets at the same time
• Add toppings while the chocolate is still warm so they stick
• Don’t overcrowd toppings or the bark won’t break cleanly
• Let the chocolate fully set before snapping into pieces
• Chill briefly if needed, but don’t over-refrigerate
• Store in an airtight container to keep it from blooming

Storing Instructions

• Storing: Store chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, away from heat or direct sunlight. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, separating layers with parchment paper.
• Freezing: You can also freeze chocolate bark for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving so condensation doesn’t affect the texture.
