How to Make
Step 1: Start by melting your almond bark in the microwave in 20-30 second increments. Once fully melted pour in a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: With a spoon or spatula spread it out evenly.
Step 3: Break pretzel sticks and make the field goals. The sides will be shorter and the stick at bottom I used to make a bit longer. Randomly place these on the bark.
Step 4: In a bowl, add your coconut, and a few drop of green food coloring. Stir and mix until it reaches desired color. You can add more color if you need.
Step 5: Drop some on the bark all over, creating clumps of grass.
Step 6: Heat up some white chocolate almond bark and pipe on football laces. A line then 2-3 short lines across it. I used a bottle to squirt on.
Step 7: Next, add on some sprinkles to look like a crowd in the bleachers.
Step 8: Let all your chocolate set up then cut into pieces or break and serve.
Storage
Store your chocolate bark in an airtight container on the counter for 1 week. The pretzels will be the first to go stale on this recipe.
You can freeze the chocolate bark if you don’t plan to eat it right away. The pretzels won’t taste too good once thawed, they tend to go stale. That is the only thing to be aware of.
I would only make this party dessert up to 24 hours in advance of when you plan to serve it up. A fun birthday party football theme that kids and adults can enjoy.
Expert Tips
- Make sure to have items ready, as the chocolate bark will set up fast.
- Gently press the sprinkles and coconut into the chocolate to ensure it sticks to the chocolate.
- When mixing up the coconut use a throw away container or glass, as it can stain the container.
