Chocolate bark looks impressive, keeps well, and takes about 10 minutes to make. Breaking Brownie Crisps into it gives you pockets of crunch in every snap - far better than plain bark, and a great edible gift.

What You Need

• 150g dark chocolate (70% or higher), roughly chopped
• 1 pack Brownie Crisps (Chocolate Chip or Almond Chip)
• Optional: flaky sea salt, crushed roasted almonds, dried cranberries

How to Make It

1. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or microwave in 30-second bursts), stirring until smooth.
2. Pour onto a baking tray lined with parchment and spread to about 5mm thick.
3. Immediately press Brownie Crisps into the surface - whole pieces, broken chunks, or a mix of both.
4. Scatter any additional toppings (sea salt works especially well).
5. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until completely set.
6. Break into irregular shards and store in an airtight container.

Gifting and Storage

Bark keeps in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. Stack pieces in a small box with parchment between layers for a clean-label homemade gift. Almond Chip Brownie Crisps add an extra layer of nuttiness that works particularly well here.
