Almond bark is made from white chocolate, which allows it to be dyed a range of colors. Almond bark reacts to liquids by clumping into a unworkable paste, so food coloring in oil, powder or paste form should be used. Two easy ways to add color to almond bark are by melting the chocolate in either a microwave or a double-boiler then adding the color.

Microwave

Choose the color of food coloring you wish to use.

Unwrap the almond bark and place the bark in a microwave safe glass bowl.

Microwave the almond bark for 30 seconds on low heat. Remove it and stir it with a spoon. Alternate microwaving and stirring the almond bark in 30-second increments until it is melted.

Remove the melted almond bark from the microwave. Stir in the food coloring until the almond bark is thoroughly colored.

Double-boiler Method

Fill the bottom of a double-boiler with warm water. Place the boiler on the stove.

Turn the stove to medium-low heat. Add the almond bark to the top pan.

Add the coloring to the melted almond bark.

Stir in the dye until the almond bark is evenly colored.
