Ingredients
Scale
- 100g (4oz) dark chocolate
- 100g (4oz) milk chocolate
- 100g (4oz) white chocolate
- 100g (4oz) mixed fruits and nuts (including pistachios, cashews, almonds, cranberries, golden raisins, apricots - to be honest, I used the dregs of a number of nearly empty packets in the cupboard)
You will also need -
- baking parchment
- a tin - mine was 24cm x 20cm x 4cm
Instructions
- Line the tin with baking parchment - greasing it a little bit so that the paper doesn't move around.
- Break up the chocolate into pieces - and put each type into a separate bowl.
- Melt the chocolate - until it is completely liquid. I used a 1200W microwave and each bowl needed around 1 minute. If you don't have a microwave, melt the chocolate in separate bowls over a pan of boiling water on the hob. In both methods, stir regularly to speed up the melting process.
- Pour the chocolate into the tin - I started with the dark chocolate and spooned it into the tin leaving gaps in between. Then I followed with the milk and the white, trailing it around like a Jackson Pollock masterpiece!
- Tip the tin gently from side to side - to even out the level and to fill any gaps.
- Add your toppings - don't go crazy! If there are no spaces it becomes harder to break up the chocolate.
- Chill in the fridge - for at least 3 hours.
- When it is completely solid, break the bark up with your hands - using the paper in the tin to help avoid getting finger marks over the chocolate.
- Store the bark in the fridge - in an air tight container. It will keep beautifully (subject to fridge raids) for a week.
