CHOCOLATE BARK

Easter wouldn’t be Easter without a little chocolate. Make sure you use good quality chocolate as your end result will be so much more memorable. These make a lovely gift and so much more personal.

Serves 10

Ingredients

250g good quality 62-70% chocolate

Decorative toppings – baby chocolate eggs, edible glitter, balls

Method

Line a tray with greaseproof paper.

Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl, over a pot of barley simmering water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl and does not get anywhere near the chocolate (water and chocolate don’t mix). Melt the chocolate, stirring as you go until you have no lumps. Remove off the heat and stir once again.

Pour onto the greaseproof paper and spread evenly to about ½ cm thick all over.

Sprinkle with the lightly crushed eggs, dust with glitter and balls.

Set in the fridge until very firm (30-1hour).

Break the chocolate into desired shapes and sizes. Keep in the fridge until required.
