What is Leprechaun Bark?
Leprechaun bark is a type of chocolate bark made with a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Traditional chocolate bark recipes feature a base of milk chocolate or dark chocolate and toppings.
However, leprechaun bark features a base of Andes mints or other mint chocolate candies. As a result, it has stripes of festive green color and notes of refreshing flavor, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day-themed parties along with festive fruit kabobs and white chocolate dipped Oreos!
Two Ingredients Are All You Need!
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the complete ingredient information and instructions!

- Chocolate Mint Candies – We use Andes chocolate, but any mint chocolate candies you like best will work.
- Sprinkles – We use super cute St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles, but plain green, or any variety you have on hand will do.
Flavor Variations
Feel free to mix and match different ingredients to make this recipe your own! Some of my favorite ways to switch it up include:
- Swap the Chocolate. Feel free to use any mint chocolate candies you like. Or, swap them out for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate candy melts instead.
- Add Candies. Create candy bark by sprinkling green M&Ms, bite-sized pieces of candy bars, rainbow candy, rainbow sprinkles, or gummies along with the sprinkles.
- Include Mix-Ins. Sprinkle pretzel pieces, potato chips, or cereal like Lucky Charms or Lucky Charm marshmallows on top of the chocolate before it sets. This creates a completely different taste and texture.
- Layer. Create layers of chocolate by pouring one layer, freezing, and pouring a second. Repeat the process with as many layers as you like!
How to Make Mint Chocolate Leprechaun Bark

- Melt the chocolate. Add part of the chocolate pieces to a bowl.

2. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate melts.

3. Layer. Pour the melted chocolate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Sprinkle chopped mint candies on top followed by the sprinkles.

5. Freeze. Transfer the baking dish to the freezer, and allow the chocolate to set. Use your hands to break the bark into pieces, or chop it with a knife.
Tip: This recipe makes for a fun treat for school parties and holiday gatherings! Portion it into baggies, and tie it up with green and gold ribbons for a tasty snack.
Common Questions
No, feel free to melt the chocolate pieces in a saucepan over medium heat if preferred. Just be sure to stir frequently. Otherwise, the chocolate will burn!
You can store leprechaun bark in an airtight container or sealable bag for up to one month. Let it harden and set at room temperature, and break it into pieces before doing so!
We don’t recommend it! It’s likely to become soggy once thawed.
