Valentine’s Chocolate Bark


Valentine’s Chocolate Bark
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!
