Directions of Webbed Chocolate Bark

1. Get Ready: Put parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet.
2. Melt Dark Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate. Use a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat for 30 seconds at a time, then stir. Do this until it’s smooth. If it’s too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil.
3. Spread Base: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the baking sheet. Spread it thin and even, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon.
4. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate the same way. Make sure it’s smooth with no lumps.
5. Make Webs: While the dark chocolate is still wet, put lines of white chocolate across it. Space them out evenly.
6. Form Webs: Use a skewer or toothpick. Drag it through the white lines, going back and forth, to make a web pattern. Work fast before the chocolate gets hard.
7. Add Toppings: Put your chosen toppings on the wet chocolate right away. Gently press them down so they stick.
8. Chill: Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Chill for 30-60 minutes, or until the bark is completely hard.
9. Break and Serve: Once hard, take the bark out of the refrigerator. Break it into pieces.

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. Melt the dark chocolate: Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Be careful not to scorch it.

6. Create the webbed pattern: Take a toothpick or a skewer and drag it perpendicularly through the white chocolate lines. Drag it in one direction, then drag it back the opposite way between the previous lines to create the elegant web design. Repeat until the entire surface has a webbed chocolate bark pattern.

7. Add toppings (optional): Immediately sprinkle with your desired toppings if using.

8. Chill and set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
