Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 250g 50% dark chocolate
- 150g white chocolate
- Sprinkles of your choice (100’s & 1000’s, confetti etc)
- ¼ cup pretzels
- Assorted Easter chocolate/egg mix
Method
- In two separate bowls, melt the dark and white chocolate. Line a baking tray with parchment or baking paper, and pour the dark chocolate onto the tray. Use a spoon or palette knife to spread the chocolate, then drizzle the white chocolate over the top. Use a spoon or palette knife to spread the white chocolate and lightly marble with the dark chocolate beneath.
- Evenly scatter the sprinkles over the melted chocolate, then arrange the pretzels over the top.
- Take your chosen Easter eggs and create texture by breaking, cutting or leaving some whole. Arrange over the bark, starting with the largest pieces first.
- Place the bark into the fridge, and leave to set for 1hr. Once set, use a knife to cut the bark into pieces, or use your hands to break into shards. Store in an airtight container in a cool area for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Be sure to add all of your toppings while the chocolate is still melted and push any larger toppings like pretzels into the chocolate slightly to ensure they stick!
- Don’t like a specific topping? No worries! Swap it for whatever sweet or salty option you prefer!
FAQs
- Why is my chocolate bark not hardening?
- It is likely because your chocolate wasn’t tempered. This means that it wasn’t heated to a high enough temperature during melting.
- How do you cut chocolate bark with a knife without cracking it?
- Remove the sheet from the fridge and place onto a chopping board 30 minutes before cutting. This will allow the chocolate to soften slightly which prevents it from cracking when cutting it with a knife. Although, it is fun to break it with your hands and have unique shapes and sizes!
