Valentine's Day Chocolate Bark

Valentine's Day Chocolate Bark

Valentine's Day Chocolate Bark with endless options for toppings.

Ingredients

• 5.5 ounces good quality Bittersweet Chocolate
• 5.5 ounces good quality Semi-sweet Chocolate

Toppings

• 3.5 tablespoons candied orange rind
• 4 ounces dried cherries
• Nonpareils

Instructions

• In the bowl of a bain marie or double boiler (if using double boiler, keep water below the bottom of the bowl so that it is not touching), bring water to a simmer.
• Add chocolate and melt slowly, stiring
• Line the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the sides.
• Pour chocolate over and sprinkle toppings on top.
• Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
• After 1 hour 45 minutes, test to see if it is set up.
• If so, cut with cookie cutters.
• If the chocolate is too hard to cut, heat cutter slightly by placing it (cutting side down) on a skillet over low heat. This will warm it just enough to cut through the set chocolate.
