Galaxy Bark

When you start to think about how small we are in the grand scheme of our universe, it’s rather humbling. There’s just so much to learn about the space we live in. An easy way to start the discussion is by getting the kids in the kitchen for a batch of our Galaxy Bark!

Of course, you don’t have to turn our Galaxy Bark into a lesson about planets, dwarf planets, stars, nebulas, the Milky Way, black holes, and just the cosmos. There’s so much more, but i’s a lot to take in and we’re pretty fascinated by it all at our house. It could just be an easy tasty treat that kids can prepare by themselves with only minimal supervision that’s also rather beautiful to look at, too.

Take a knife and swirl the colors around. Make sure you don’t over swirl the colors, you still want to see plenty of the black chocolate. Finally, sprinkle the nonpareils and the gold stars all over the chocolate.
