How To Make Chocolate Bark: {Using A Mold}
MELTING
- Place wafer in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds at half power or on defrost setting.
- Stir wafers.
- Repeat steps 2-3 until wafers are completely melted.
MOLDING
- Fill mold cavities with melted wafers and desired mix-ins.
- Lightly tap mold onto a flat surface to release air bubbles. Refrigerate for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the mold appears frosty and the pieces are firm.
- Invert the mold onto a flat surface and tap gently to remove finished pieces. If the pieces do not release easily, chill for an additional 3-5 minutes.
How To Make Chocolate Bark: {Without Mold}
- Melt the chocolate in short 20-second intervals in the microwave or if using wafers, use the method above.
- Stir occasionally.
- Remove from the microwave and add your mix-ins. Stir to distribute.
- Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula. Put it in the freezer and let the bark sit until hardened, about 30 minutes.
- Using your hands or a knife, break the bark into bite-sized pieces. Keep them in the fridge until ready to pack.
