Instructions
Stove Top Instructions for any Bark Flavor
Place the chocolate into a small saucepan that is completely dry.
Turn the stovetop on to the lowest setting, which is generally called 'simmer'. Wait until the bottom chocolate starts to look soft, then start stirring the chocolate as it melts.
Stir until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
Double Boiler Instructions for any Bark Flavor
Fill a large saucepan half full of water. Place a smaller bowl into the water so that it floats but no water can get into the bowl.
Place the chocolate into the smaller bowl and bring the water to a gentle simmer. Stir the chocolate as it softens and starts to melt.
Make sure the water doesn't boil so much that is splashes into the chocolate. Keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Chocolate Bark Assembly
Line a cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Melt the chocolate and spread it over the parchment paper. For thick bark, spread the chocolate to 1/4" thick. For thin bark, spread the chocolate to 1/8" thick.
Press in desired toppings. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Once the chocolate is completely hardened, break the chocolate into bark pieces and enjoy!
Double Layered Bark Assembly
For double layered bark, like candy cane white chocolate bark, first melt the chocolate and spread it on the parchment paper. Let it harden for 20 minutes in the freezer.
Melt the white chocolate. Quickly spread it over the hardened chocolate. Sprinkle on your desired toppings.
Let the bark harden again for 20 minutes in the freezer. Once completely hardened, break the double layer chocolate into bark pieces and enjoy!
