This Ube Candy Bark is made with a layer of Skyflakes, Ube Halaya and a Ube white chocolate coating. Then topped with a heavy sprinkling of Ube Polvoron. Super easy and super sarap.
I think making Filipino flavored Candy Bark is just my thing. I mean the Sans Rival version I made was so good. So you know eventually an Ube one was coming.
Just another way to use Ube Halaya in a different way. It really is oh so super versatile.
Chocolate Covered Skyflakes
These Chocolate Covered Skyflakes are like a Filipino Brickle Recipe. A saltine cracker covered in caramel and chocolate.
Ingredients
This is what you will need to make Ube Candy Bark.
Skyflakes - The base and in my opinion the best cracker out there. You will need 3 packets so you can lay out 9 pieces of crackers.
Ube Halaya - Either from the bottle or from scratch is fine. You will need ½ cup.
Coconut Jam - I have been seeing this a lot recently at my local Filipino Grocery store. Quite unusual that it's white, but I think that makes it more usable in different recipes like this as it will not change the color of the Ube Halaya. Try to find it if you can. If not use very light colored honey instead.
White Chocolate - You will need 1 cup of white chocolate chips.
Coconut Oil - Measure out 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon to melt along with the white chocolate chips.
Ube Flavoring - The only time I am down using Ube Flavoring. About ¼ teaspoon will do depending on the brand that you use. Some are stronger than others.
Ube Polvoron - I used 2 large ones from Goldilocks.
Sans Rival Candy Bark
Sans Rival Candy Bark is made with a layer of Skyflakes, a gooey cashew butter center and topped with white chocolate crumbled with roasted cashews and meringue pieces.
How To Make Ube Candy Bark
Layer the skyflakes into 3 rows of 3 in a 9x13 in baking pan that has been lined with foil.
Then make the filling by mixing together the Ube Halaya and Coconut Jam into a sauce pan.
Cook for 5 minutes until heated and fully combined.
While it is still warm place on top of the skyflakes.
Use a spatula or knife to spread the Ube filling until the edges of the crackers.
Bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 350F. Take out of the oven and leave to rest.
Now let's make the Ube coating. Place the white chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and stir and heat up for an additional 30 seconds to fully melt all the chocolate. Stir until it's all combined.
Add in the Ube flavoring and mix well.
While it is still warm add to the top of the Ube filling.
Spread it out to the edges.
Before the Ube candy coating starts to harden crumble the Ube Polvoron all over the top.
Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Then break the Ube Candy Bark apart into smaller pieces.
How to Serve and Store Your Ube Candy Bark
I like storing mine in the refrigerator after breaking them apart. They stay nice and crispy that way.
Ube Candy Bark is a great food gift especially if you make the Chocolate Covered Skyflakes and the Sans Rival Candy Bark as well. Place a few of all three versions in a box and well you have just made someone or several peoples day.
