Chocolate Bark Makes a Perfect Homemade Gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"pepitaIf you\u2019re looking for ideas for a delicious gift, homemade chocolate bark is one of the easiest treats you can make, even if you\u2019re busy with a hundred other things.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Seven Simple Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Put chocolate in a bowl.<\/li>\n
  2. Put the bowl in the Proofer.<\/li>\n
  3. Wait for the chocolate to melt.<\/li>\n
  4. For more shine and snap to the chocolate, stir in some seed chocolate and cool to 33\u00ba C. (For more instructions on melting or tempering chocolate, see our page on chocolate<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Spread the chocolate about \u00bc inch thick on a foil-lined baking sheet.<\/li>\n
  6. Scatter your choice of toppings over the chocolate.<\/li>\n
  7. Let your chocolate bark cool and harden, and then cut or break into pieces<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It Really Is That Easy\"melted<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The great thing about using the Folding Proofer to make chocolate bark is that you don\u2019t have to worry about scorching the chocolate, and you don\u2019t need a double boiler. At 46\u00ba C it will take about 2.5 hours for a 500g solid block, and even after it\u2019s melted you can leave it for a couple of hours without worry.<\/p>\n

    The Only Hard Part<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The most difficult thing about making chocolate bark is deciding what to put on it. \u201cGo granola\u201d and sprinkle your warm chocolate with granola. Or jazz it up with some red and green color. Crushed peppermint candy on chocolate bark is a classic this time of year. Sliced gumdrops look amazingly similar to stained glass. If someone you\u2019re planning a gift for has a favorite candy, this is the perfect opportunity to make some thing special\u2013and so easy\u2013for him or her.<\/p>\n
