Valentine’s Chocolate Bark


Valentine’s Chocolate Bark
Servings 24
Ingredients
- 12 ounces chocolate chips or grated (dark, milk or semi-sweet)
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
- heart shape candies and sprinkles
Instructions
-
Turn a baking sheet upside down and line with parchment paper.
-
To melt the chocolate use the double boiler or microwave method.
-
Double Boiler:
-
Add chocolate and coconut oil in a heat-proof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. As the water begins to simmer and release steam, the steam will heat the chocolate and the chocolate will begin to melt. Keep stirring with a heat-safe rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all of the chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and spread chocolate over prepared pan in an even layer.
-
Microwave:
-
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one, (keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn). The chocolate is done when it’s about 90% melted—keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. Remove from heat and spread chocolate over prepared pan in an even layer.
-
Sprinkle candies all over and place the pan in the refrigerator to harden for about 15 minutes or cool at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours, until completely hardened.
-
Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into pieces. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
