VARIATIONS OF DANDY BLEND CHOCOLATE BARK
This delicious homemade chocolate bark with Dandy Blend is going to be a hit in your household. It’s versatile and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. We offer macadamia nuts and dried cherries as toppings but you can switch it up however you like. Coconut shavings and crushed almonds, dried strawberries and marshmallows, or candied ginger all make for great toppings. You can also make half of the bark one flavor and the other half something else—that way everyone gets a say in the final product.
HOW TO MAKE DANDY BLEND CHOCOLATE BARK
This recipe couldn’t come together any easier. All you need is dark chocolate chips, Dandy Blend, and toppings of your choice. We recommend adding sea salt to any variation you choose.
This recipe can be made on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a chocolate mold, they will be equally delicious. Regardless of what you’re going to let your chocolate bark set in, you’ll start by melting down the chocolate chips. We like to do this in a double boiler method. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil, then place a heat-safe bowl on top with the chocolate chips. Gently stir the chips until melted, being careful not to let it burn.
Next, you’ll stir in the Dandy Blend. Then pour the mixture into the molds or over the baking sheet. Add your toppings of choice, finishing with some sea salt, and now you wait. After 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator your chocolate should be hardened and ready to enjoy.
