The hardest thing about making chocolate bark is deciding what flavor combinations you want! The delicious chocolate treat itself is almost impossible to mess up, but the mix-in possibilities are endless!
Every chocolate bark recipe simply starts with melted chocolate. If chocolate chips or wafers are your product of choice, then you may want to add a little oil or shortening to achieve that rich, velvety texture that'll spread nice and thin for the perfect snap. We prefer using coating chocolates that melt very easily and harden nicely. (Fore more melting tips, see below!) Whatever you choose, the most important decision is what to add next!
