Chocolate Bark
















Chocolate Bark

2 cups dark chocolate melting disks (I use Chocomakers)
2 cups vanilla flavored melting disks, white or color of your choice
candy flavoring oil of your choice
Add-ins of your choice (toasted nuts, toffee bits, peppermint bits, etc)
Toppings of your choice (candies, toasted nuts, sprinkles, etc)

Melt the dark chocolate pieces in the microwave according to package directions. If making a nut bark, stir in 1 to 2 cups of toasted nuts (your choice). Otherwise, stir in 1 to 2 cups of your add-ins. Spread out evenly onto a pan lined with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Place in the refrigerator to harden.

Melt the vanilla candy pieces according to package directions. Stir in about 1/4 teaspoon of your desired candy flavoring. Spread melted candy over the chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with candy bits, toasted nuts, sprinkles, etc...your choice. Place back into the refrigerator until set, then break into pieces.

Note: The photo shown is Chocolate Almond Bark.  I did not have enough of the white vanilla pieces to make 2 cups so instead I used 3 cups of the chocolate pieces and a bit over a cup of the vanilla pieces.  Normally they would be about equal amounts.  I used toasted slivered almonds as my add-in to the dark chocolate.  I used a scant 1/4 teaspoon of almond flavored oil in the white vanilla part.  I used about an ounce or so of toasted sliced almonds on top.
