Line a 10x15 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add chocolate to a medium bowl and place over a saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a low boil stirring regularly once the chocolate starts to melt.
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, carefully remove the bowl from the heat (I like it place it on a kitchen towel to dry off the bottom), then carefully pour on to the parchment paper and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with as much candy as desired, then chill in the fridge until set, about 30 minutes.
Chop or break apart and enjoy.

Notes
Candy Placement: Add toppings soon after spreading your chocolate so they stick in nicely. For treats that are lighter you can press in gently.
Thickness: Spread the chocolate evenly for clean breaks once chilled.
Setting: Let the bark fully set before breaking to avoid smudging.
Easter Gifts: Package up a few pieces of bark in cello bags, tied with a name tag for a fun surprise.
Melt Slow: Gentle heat to avoids scorching the chocolate.
Room Temperature:Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Place pieces of parchment between and ensure the area is cool so they do not sweat.
Refrigerator: Keeps well chilled for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Freezer:Freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
