Requiring just a few simple kitchen utensils, chocolate bark makes a wonderful hostess, holiday, or birthday gift. There are no measurements as it's what's in your pantry and how you prepare it! From Country Living Magazine Ingredients:
chocolate (milk or semi-sweet) |
classic toppings: dried fruits such as apricots, raisins, candied orange peel, cranberries, and cherries. toasted nuts including hazelnuts, pecans, almonds, and pistachios. |
contemporary toppings: caramelized cocoa nibs (see recipe), cereal, candied ginger, and dried fruits such as pineapple, blueberries, and strawberries. toasted pumpkin seeds and pine nuts. |
Directions:
1. Line a chilled baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour warm (not hot), melted chocolate into the prepared pan.
2. Spread the chocolate evenly to about 1⁄8 inch thick using a small offset spatula. Sprinkle toppings on the chocolate and place in the freezer to set, approximately 20 minutes.
3. For even-sized pieces, cut up bark before it sets completely. If you like a more rustic look, allow the bark to harden completely before breaking it up into pieces. Store in a cool, dry place.
