Fruit Nut Dark Chocolate Bark Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE NUT BARK

Steps:

• Line an 8" pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt dark chocolate: Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place a steel pot on top (use a double boiler if you've got one). Add uniformly chopped pieces of chocolate or chocolate chips (8 oz) to the pot and stir with rubber spatula. You are trying to melt the chocolate and not burn it. You don't want the boiling water to touch the second pot that's sitting on top of it or it will curdle. Keep stirring at a low heat until it's melted.
• Don't let any water get in contact with the chocolate or it will become unworkable.
• Melt slowly over low heat while stirring gently (if the heat is too high it will become lumpy)
• Pour chocolate into lined pan, sheet pan, or baking dish and lightly shake the pan (or use a spatula) to make the chocolate an even thickness. Add nuts and sprinkle sea salt over the top. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Serve with Mixed Berry Gazpacho and Fresh Whipped Cream or Ice Cream. Happy Chocolate Eating! Beckie

FRUIT AND NUT CHOCOLATE BARK

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe glass bowl or measuring cup. Heat for 1 minute, at 50% power, stir and heat an additional 30 seconds, stir again until smooth. Pour the chocolate across the lined baking sheet and spread it out with a spatula.
• Wipe the bowl clean and repeat the melting process with the white chocolate chips. Pour the white chocolate over the dark and use the end of a spoon or a spatula to swirl the two chocolates together. Sprinkle with the chopped fruits and nuts. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Cut the bark into pieces once it has set. Store at cool room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

SALTED FRUIT 'N' NUT BARK

Steps:

• Melt the dark and white chocolate in separate bowls suspended over pans of gently simmering water, stirring every now and then. Meanwhile, line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Leave the chocolate to cool for 10 mins.
• Pour the dark chocolate onto the tray and spread it into a rectangle, roughly 20 x 25cm. Drizzle over the white chocolate and create a swirled pattern by dragging a cocktail stick back and forth across the chocolate. Scatter over the nuts, fruit and sea salt, then leave somewhere cool to set.
• Break into shards or leave whole, wrap in cellophane or pack into a box, then tie up with ribbon. Will keep for 2 weeks.
