DIY CHOCOLATE BARK WITH DRIED BERRIES

Catherine Anne Earle
This delicious chocolate treat can be whipped up very quickly, you'll just need to wait for it to cool and harden in the fridge before you can sink your teeth into the natural goodness of this Chocolate Bark.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g Cocoa Butter
  • 100 g Cocoa Powder
  • 100 g Local Honey (or sweetner alternative)
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Australian Pink Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup Dried Fruit (Cranberries)
  • 1/4 cup Crushed Macadamia Nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking tray with foil and set aside (if you're in a warm environment you may want to place the tray into the fridge to cool).
  • Add the cocoa butter in a double boiler, continue stirring as it melts. Add Cocoa Powder, Honey Extract and Salt.
  • Whisk until you have a smooth consistency.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture onto the foil lined baking tray, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle the dried fruit, nuts or seeds over the chocolate.
  • Transfer the chocolate to the fridge or freezer to harden. (The faster it hardens, the sooner you can eat it!)
  • Once ready remove the chocolate from the foil sheet and break the chocolate into bit sized pieces.

Notes

If you'd like to have a frosted look on the top of your chocolate, add all your ingredients except the cocoa powder (and toppings) to your mixing bowl and stir. Remove a small amount of the mixture and set aside. Add the cocoa powder and whisk well. As per the instructions above add dark chocolate mix to the foil lined tray.  Drizzle with the white chocolate mix and add dried fruits and nuts as noted above.
This chocolate will melt quickly so be sure to store it in the fridge. It will last for a few weeks — or less if you just can't resist having a quick snack!
Enjoy your plastic free chocolate treats.
