Jungle Bark Ginger And Apricot White Chocolate Bark Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8 by 10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get into the chocolate.
• Place the walnuts in 1 layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool and then chop roughly into large pieces.
• Place 3/4 of the chocolate in a glass bowl and place it in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. (Don't trust your microwave timer - time it with your watch.) Stir with a rubber spatula. Put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again. Continue to heat and stir every 30 seconds until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately, add the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds at a time.)
• Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly into the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled walnuts, the cranberries and apricots. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm, or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

• Then place in random spots among the chocolate.
• Swirl the two together to make streaks.
• Place another piece of wax paper on top. Then another cookie sheet to slightly flatten smooth. 2009 I used sil pads below and above the melted bark. It`s 20 degrees outdoors with 12 inches of snow expected so out goes the tray of bark to harden. ;).

FRUITY WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK

Steps:

• Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place ¾ of the chocolate in a large glass bowl and microwave on high power for 20 to 30 seconds. Stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second increments until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately add the remaining chocolate and allow to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth, slightly cooled, and glossy.
• If desired, split chocolate into two bowls. Using powdered food coloring, tint one bowl to desired color. Pour white chocolate in an even layer onto prepared sheet tray. Drizzle tinted chocolate over white chocolate, then, using a toothpick or skewer, marble together until desired pattern is achieved.
• Working quickly, scatter strawberries, raspberries, candied oranges, and pistachios over top of chocolate. Sprinkle with gold dragees, and then splatter with gold highlighter. Refrigerate bark until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Crack or cut bark into equal pieces and enjoy.
