5 Minute Chocolate Bark
Here’s how to make this simple yet scrumptious chocolate bark:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 cup toppings (nuts, dried fruit, crushed candy canes, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make it easier to remove once set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about ¼ inch thick.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of toppings evenly over the melted chocolate, pressing down slightly to ensure they adhere. Options for toppings include chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the toppings for an added flavor dimension.
- Allow the chocolate bark to cool at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once completely hardened, break it into pieces, or cut it into squares.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for extended freshness.
This chocolate bark is incredibly versatile. Feel free to mix and match different types of chocolate and toppings to create your unique version. Whether you prefer the richness of dark chocolate or the sweetness of white chocolate, the choice is yours. Enjoy your homemade chocolate bark as a delightful snack or gift it to friends and family. They’ll surely appreciate your delicious creation!
