Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the chocolate is melted smoothly before adding it to the other ingredients.
  • If you want a thinner bark, spread the chocolate mixture out more thinly on the baking sheet.
  • If you want a thicker bark, spread the chocolate mixture out more thickly on the baking sheet.
  • Be patient when melting the chocolate. It takes time for the chocolate to melt completely.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Just be careful not to overheat it.

  • Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
