Valentine’s Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 12 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate baking bars (chopped into small even pieces), (I like guittard 64% cacao)
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
- heart shape candies and sprinkles
Instructions
- Cover a 9 x 13 rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate using your preferred method, a double boiler or the microwave.
- Double Boiler Method:
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to 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 it will begin to melt. Keep stirring with a heat-safe rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all of the chocolate has melted.
- Microwave Method:
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don’t overdo it. The chocolate is done when it’s about 90% melted, keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve.
- Immediately pour the melted chocolate over your prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle your topping of choice 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.
- 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!
