INSTRUCTIONS

Blizzard Bark

  • Toast the macadamia nuts and coconut separate. 
  • When cool, rough chop the nuts, leaving some large halves. Chop the candied ginger into small cubes. 
  • Keep all ingredients separate and set aside. 
  • Temper the Ivoire 35% White Chocolate. Once the white chocolate is in temper, spread evenly on a parchment lined half tray. 
  • Immediately sprinkle each of the toppings on the bark, evenly distributing the items across the bark. Leave to set in a cool place (60-65°F) for at least 4 hours. 
  • Break into pieces and serve.

 *Chop chocolate before measuring.

Chef’s note: Ivoire 35% can be substituted for the WAINA 35% in this recipe. If kept in an airtight container, bark with keep for 1 month.
 


Merry Berry Bark

  • Measure all the ingredients- keep separate and set aside.
  • Temper the Oriado 60% Dark Chocolate.
  • Once the dark chocolate is in temper, spread evenly on a parchment lined half tray.
  • Immediately sprinkle each of the toppings on the bark, evenly distributing the items across the bark.
  • Leave to set in a cool place (60-65°F) for at least 4 hours. 
  • Break into pieces and serve.

 *Chop chocolate before measuring.

Chef’s note: Caraïbe or Guanaja can be substituted for the Oriado in this recipe.  If kept in an airtight container, bark with keep for 1 month.  If made in a humid climate, omit the freeze dried fruit as it will absorb moisture quickly.
