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.

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.
