Move over toffee apples and make way for Bonfire Bark, a totally decadent chocolate treat!
You just can’t go wrong with a chocolate bark recipe, they’re super simple to make and you can decorate them so beautifully and tie them into any occasion you fancy.
How to make chocolate bark
Just melt your chocolate – I like to use two different types of chocolate, usually a milk chocolate and a white chocolate which I dye different colours to suit the occasion. Just remember you need to use food dye gel or paste, not the liquid as it will spoil the chocolate.
The pour onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and sprinkle over your toppings. All you need to do then is allow to set hard in the fridge then break it up to serve.
This is also a really nice edible gift to take to bonfire parties. Just break the bark into pieces and package in a small food bucket with baking paper.
Just how gorgeous does it look???
