Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with foil, shiny-side up; smooth out the creases. Make sure all your tools are dry.
- Chop the chocolate into 1/2-inch pieces with a large knife. Place all but 1 cup of the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds, then stir with a rubber spatula. Continue microwaving and stirring at 30-second intervals until melted, 3 to 5 minutes total. Immediately add the reserved chopped chocolate to the bowl; stir vigorously until melted and shiny. Don't worry if there are a few small unmelted pieces.
- Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet; use the rubber spatula to spread it into a 10-to-12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Press the coconut, macadamia nuts, mangoes and ginger into the chocolate, arranging them so each bite has a mix of flavors and textures. Let the bark harden completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. (If the room is warm, you may need to freeze the bark for a few minutes.) Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
TROPICAL KEY LIME WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
Enjoy a sweet and sultry variation on the standard (yet always fantastic) white chocolate chip/macadamia nut cookie. People will go nuts for these! White chocolate chips aren't really available here in the United Kingdom so I chopped up some good quality Cadbury's white chocolate instead. Back at home in the States it was always so easy to find a bag of white chocolate chips in pretty much any grocery store, but not here! And if you can't find a key lime, use a regular lime. No big deal. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Coat a 9-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet or 6 small loaf pans (2 1/2-by-5-inches) with cooking spray, and line with parchment, leaving an overhang on long sides. Pour melted chocolate into baking sheet or divide among pans (3 tablespoons each), and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle toppings over chocolate. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Peel off parchment, and break bark into pieces.
Tips for Making Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark:
- For a smoother bark, use a food processor to chop the macadamia nuts. This will help to create a more even distribution of nuts throughout the bark.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the macadamia nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they are evenly distributed throughout the bark.
- To make the bark even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted white chocolate.
- If you don't have any lime zest, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice instead.
- For a more citrusy bark, use 2 limes instead of 1.
- Be sure to let the bark cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help to prevent the bark from crumbling.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Lime and macadamia nut bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this bark is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this lime and macadamia nut bark a try. You won't be disappointed!
