Almond bark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Almond bark (also known as vanilla flavored candy coating) is a chocolate-like confection made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter and with coloring and flavors added.[1] It can be bought in packages, blocks, or round discs where candy and baking supplies are sold.[2] The confection is commonly used to cover or dip fruits, nuts, cookies, or crackers, in place of real chocolate.[3]
The term is also applied to a type of candy consisting of sheets or chunks of semisweet or milk chocolate to which almonds or almond pieces, and/or cherry almond flavoring have been added.[4]
