Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking. Make sure it’s fully covered for easy removal of the bark later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate. Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Spread the Chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly to your desired thickness.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Sprinkle your choice of toffee pieces, nuts, or any other desired toppings evenly over the melted chocolate while it is still warm.
Step 5: Cool the Chocolate Bark
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until fully hardened.
Step 6: Break the Bark
Once the chocolate has completely set, remove it from the baking sheet and break it into pieces of your desired size.
