White chocolate tastes rich and milky with a hint of vanilla and a buttery finish. It has depth, thanks to the cocoa butter. Almond bark, though? It’s sweet and one-note, like a sugar cookie that forgot to add vanilla.
Ever notice that some almond bark smells faintly of artificial almond? That’s because it often contains almond extract for flavor (hence the name). But don’t expect actual almonds—it’s just a hint, like a ghost of a nut.
