METHOD

Preheat oven to 220 C.

Line a large baking sheet or baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine all bark ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

Place bark onto prepared baking sheet and spread a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top. Use a rolling pin or pat to spread the bark out to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Remove plastic wrap from bark and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the bark turns a nice golden brown. The edges will be slightly more cooked. Cool slightly while you melt your chocolate.

In a double boiler, melt chocolate or in the microwave melt the dark chocolate for 30 seconds at a time for max 3 minutes

Spread evenly over cooked bark.

Allow to cool before topping.

Place in freezer for 30 minutes, then remove and cut into pieces!
