Step-by-Step Instructions for Protein Fourth of July Bark
  1. Prepare Sheet Pan: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface for easy removal of your Protein Fourth of July Bark later.
  2. Melt Chocolates: In separate microwave-safe bowls, place your milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. Heat them one at a time in the microwave, using 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Pour and Spread: Once melted, pour the milk chocolate evenly onto the lined sheet pan. Spread it into an even layer, then gently pour the melted white chocolate over the milk chocolate layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the red, white, and blue M&M’s and festive sprinkles over the top of the chocolate layers. Press them gently into the melted chocolate.
  5. Chill: Carefully place the sheet pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once fully chilled, remove the bark from the refrigerator and lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into your desired size pieces.
