Notes
Use gentle heat when melting chocolate to prevent burning or grainy texture
Work quickly when adding toppings as chocolate sets fast
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate if warm
You can freeze the bark for up to 2 months and thaw before serving
Add alcohol-free vanilla flavor like Simply Organic Alcohol-Free Vanilla Flavor or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor for extra aroma if desired
Avoid moisture contact to maintain smooth texture and appearance
