Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 1/2 ounces (9 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for parchment
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon table salt
10 1/2 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon sea salt, preferably fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides; butter parchment, excluding overhang. Beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add flour and table salt, and beat until just combined.
  • Press dough evenly into pan, and bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Chocolate Caramel: Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, washing sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until amber, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, cream, and table salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until smooth. Pour over chocolate. Let stand for 2 minutes. Stir to combine, and let stand until cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour mixture over crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight. Run a knife around edges; lift parchment to remove whole bar from pan. Sprinkle with sea salt. Trim edges, and cut into 16 bars. Bars can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
2 cups Robin Hood Nutri Flour Blend
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 cups chips milk chocolate chips (2 packages)
1 cup toasted almond, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 17x11 baking sheet and line with parchment paper overlapping the two ends for easy removal.
  • COOKIE: Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and water until smooth. Add remainin 3 ingredients and beat until mixture is combined.

  • Cool in refrigerator until chocolate is set. Once at room temperature, break or cut slab into irregular pieces or into your favorite cookie cutter shapes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right chocolate is essential for this recipe. Use a good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will give the bark a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Make sure the caramel is thick and gooey. If it's too thin, it will spread out too much and won't hold its shape. To get the right consistency, cook the caramel until it reaches a temperature of 245 degrees Fahrenheit (118 degrees Celsius).
  • Be careful not to overcook the cookies. They should be baked until they are just set, but not browned. If they are overcooked, they will be too hard and brittle.
  • Let the bark cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
