No, but you can use almond bark to make an imitation marzipan with the following recipe:
8 oz. almond bark
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
4 TB corn syrup
1-2 tsp almond extract
1. Melt almond bark in saucepan over medium heat.
2. Remove from heat and let cool, but don't let it get so cool that it solidifies again.
3. Mix in almond extract.
4. Using mixer, gradually beat in confectioner's sugar. Mixture will be crumbly.
5. Mix in corn syrup. Mixture will still be somewhat crumbly.
6. Turn out onto generously floured surface, and knead, working in small amounts of flour, until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
nope, the almond bark will most likely 'curl' and become hard to work with
it will ruin the whole batch in my experience
The texture and flavor of the white chocolate will be different, but it can work. If you are chunking it up into cookies, or something along those lines, it will not mess up the recipe.
White chocolate (bar or chips) and almonds. Any grocery store should have both.
Not usually, no.
Chocolate almond bark is layered chocolate with shredded or whole almonds on top. A variation of this is peppermint bark, white and dark chocolate topped with shredded candy canes.
No, they are not the same.
There are thousands of recipes that use chocolate almond bark (or produce it). Some of their names are the following: Bark Candy and Dark Chocolate Almond Bark.
NO it is not recommended!
Because it looks like white bark and has almonds in it. However "Almond bark" is sold without almonds in the baking sections of grocery stores.
Try it and see...
If the chips are just mixing into the batter before baking, cut the bark into small pieces and mix in instead. Sounds good.
no i believe it doesn't.
Recipes that involve chocolate and almonds include chocolate almond biscotti and almond cherry chocolate bark. Recipes for both chocolate almond biscotti and almond cherry chocolate bark can be found for free on Joy of Baking and Epicurious.
For coating or dipping purposes, yes, you can. I have done it before for cake balls as well as chocolate chip cookie dough truffles, and it works very well. Great way to stretch expensive chocolate bark. I've even mixed chocolate chips with white almond bark, and it came out all chocolate. I couldn't tell the difference. I'm pretty sure I used milk chocolate chips every time.
Generally speaking, a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips is equivalent to about 4 cups of chips, while one square of almond bark (2.5 oz) is equivalent to about 1 cup of chocolate chips. Therefore, assuming a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips, it would take around 4 squares of almond bark to equal the contents of the bag.
Yes, you can I have tried it before.
