Winter Bark

This Winter Bark is a dazzling treat that's easy to make. The salted peanuts provide a simple counterbalance to the sweetness of white and dark chocolates. This dessert is perfect to make for a party, give as a gift, or even to enjoy at home!

 

Recipe:

8 ounces white chocolate, chopped

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

7 ounces salted cocktail peanuts (about 1 ½ cups)

1. Place white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts. Remove from heat.
2. Melt bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Stir in peanuts. Spread on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, spreading peanuts in a single layer. Drop spoonfuls of white chocolate on top, and swirl chocolates with a skewer. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
3. Break bark into large pieces. Bark will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.

A couple notes:

To make this process even faster, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave. Make sure to heat slowly and stir every 20-30 seconds.

A toothpick is an easy tool to use for swirling chocolate.

Enjoy!
