Christmas gifts to make and give - Chocolate Bark

 It's beginning to look like Christmas! This phrase can either excite or terrify you. For some of us, the lead up to Christmas can start in November (Look away now my friend Kim :) )

This recipe is not quite a recipe but more like a list of ingredients to choose from.

Ingredients & Method

Finely chop your preferred assortment of toppings:

Smarties, marshmallow, biscuit, glace ginger, crumble meringue, glace orange peel, honeycomb, sprinkles, pretzels ...... the list goes on.

Place two blocks of Lindt 90% Cocoa (or your choice) on a baking paper lined oven tray,

Place in a slow oven apprx 160 degrees Celsius until chocolate starts to melt.

Remove from oven and combine by dragging a metal skewer through the melted chocolate.

Then creatively or haphazardly sprinkle toppings over the chocolate. Leave to cool.

Pop in the fridge until firm, then break into pieces and place into cellophane gift bags or jars.

Decorate with Christmas cheer and give to those you love or need to :) 

Ideal teacher gift.

As I live in the sub tropics I store my bags in the fridge.
