Chocolate Bark Recipe

CHOCOLATE BARK

An easy recipe that’s gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat!

We wanted to share a super easy recipe from this years' Holiday Dessert Tin, and Chocolate Bark is such a crowd pleaser. With lots of options for toppings, you can't go wrong with this one.⁠

⁠INGREDIENTS⁠

• 12 oz / 350g good-quality dark chocolate⁠

⁠Optional Toppings:⁠

• goji berries, raisins or craisins⁠

• pumpkin seeds⁠

• shredded coconut ⁠

• chopped nuts⁠

• rice crisp cereal (we like the brown rice variety)⁠

• corse sea salt⁠

• For a mint chocolate bark, add 1-2 drops high quality peppermint essential oil (start with one drop and taste) then keep topping minimal - some crushed candy canes is what we did and it came out amazing!

You could go anywhere from a few TBSP of toppings to 1 cup, just depending on your preference of chocolate to topping ratio.⁠

⁠DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper⁠

⁠2. Make a double boiler by placing a glass bowl on top of a small pot of water on a low simmer. Don’t try to melt the chocolate directly in a pot or pan as it will burn. ⁠

⁠3. Once melted, remove from heat.⁠

⁠4. Stir in peppermint oil if using.⁠

⁠5. Wipe any excess water from the bottom of the pan so that it doesn’t drip into your chocolate. ⁠

⁠6. Pour your chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently shake the pan to spread the chocolate, or use a spatula to create a thin layer.⁠

⁠7. Sprinkle with toppings right away before the chocolate hardens. Place in the fridge until chocolate is fully hardened, about 15 minutes. ⁠

⁠8. Break into desired sized chunks and eat on immediately!!⁠
