Every year I make all kinds of goodies for the Holiday; cookies, cakes, and all kinds of chocolate bark. I love making bark because I can let my imagination take over and create new flavors each and every time, so essentially creating something new each time I make it.
This time I decided to make chocolate bark using my usual semi-sweet chocolate and Post Grape Nuts® cereal because I love the idea of the having a crunchy bark.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of Semi-Sweet Baker’s Chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups of Post Grape Nuts® cereal (place half on the side)
- 1/2 cup chocolate morsels
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
Instructions
If you have a double boiler, I would suggest using it to melt the chocolate rather than the microwave – the chocolate is quick to scorch that way. I don’t have a double boiler, so I use a pot of water and a round glass baking dish that sits just above the water. Make sure the water is low, so it when you bring it to a boil it doesn’t sputter out into the chocolate mixture.
- Bring the water to a boil and place the baking dish, add both boxes of Baker’s chocolate and turn the heat to medium to start melting.
- While the chocolate is melting, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Stir the chocolate to make sure it is smooth and silky, turn off the flame, then add in 1 cup of Grape Nuts® cereal. Make sure the cereal is fully covered in chocolate.
- Pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet and spread evenly. If you want a thicker bark, don’t spread as thin and vice versa.
- Add 1/2 cup of Grape Nuts® cereal and chocolate morsels on top
- Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator, and cool for about 30-40 minutes, or until set. You can also place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes if you want it faster.
- You will then have a complete sheet of solid chocolate. Take out and break into pieces by hand and serve.
