I’ve been meaning to make chocolate bark ever since I saw Chocome’s deluxe version at the Adelaide Good Food & Wine Show back in October.
Then Amy from Amy’s Town made some lovely ‘Chose Your Own Adventure’ chocolate bark for our recent Festive Favourites Blog Hop. Her version looked so lovely and her recipe seemed so straightforward that I was out of excuses.
What is chocolate bark? Well, it’s a slab of chocolate to which an assortment of toppings has been added. You can make chocolate bark with toppings like dried fruit, nuts, seeds, gold or silver leaf, crushed freeze dried raspberries or strawberries, and candy sprinkles.
Chocolate bark is easy to make, and even easier to eat. It’s perfect to take to a friend’s house to share, as I did last night, or to give as a gift, as I did on Christmas Day to multiple friends and family.
I’ve specified a combination of dried fruit and salted nuts and seeds below – the crunchy seeds and nuts add an interesting textural feature while their saltiness works marvellously with the sweet chocolate and dried fruit.
