Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 pounds of bark

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups pecan pieces
Salt
Cayenne pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch ground cinnamon
1 pound semisweet chocolate, cut into pieces
1 pound milk chocolate, cut into pieces
1 pound white chocolate, cut into pieces
2 cups dried cherries, rehydrated and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large saute pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves and is bubbly. Add the pecans. Season the pecans with salt, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar starts to caramelize and coat the pecans evenly. Cook for about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and spread the pecans over a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven and roast the pecans for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely. Break the pecans into small pieces.
  • Fill 3 small saucepans halfway up the pan with water. Place the pans over medium heat and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. In three separate mixing bowls, add each type of chocolate into the individual bowls. Place the bowls over the saucepans. After about 2 minutes over the heat, the chocolate will start to melt. Stir each chocolate until totally melted. Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir 1 tablespoon of butter into each bowl of chocolate. Pour each type of chocolate over the marble or a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the pecans and cherries over the chocolates. Using a metal spatula, spread the mixture out evenly back and forth to about 1/4-inch thick. Either place the marble in the refrigerator or allow to sit out until set, about a couple of hours. Break the bark into medium pieces and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give you the richest flavor.
  • Make sure your chocolate is finely chopped before you add it to the melted butter. This will help it to melt evenly and smoothly.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Just make sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Add the cayenne pepper and cinnamon to taste. Start with a small amount and then add more until you reach the desired level of spiciness.
  • Be careful not to overmix the chocolate mixture. Overmixing can cause the chocolate to become grainy.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and let it cool completely before cutting it into pieces.

Conclusion:

Spicy chocolate bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chocolate, and it is also a fun and unique gift idea. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and unique treat that everyone will love.
