Notes
How to Make Chocolate Bark Without a Microwave
One of my favorite ways to make chocolate bark is to simply melt a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Then I spread it out on parchment paper and let it cool into beautiful shards. If you don't have a double boiler, here are a few tips for making chocolate bark without a microwave:- Use a heavy saucepan to melt the chocolate.
- Make sure that the water in the saucepan is simmering, not boiling, or the chocolate will scorch.
- Keep an eye on the chocolate as it melts, stirring occasionally to ensure that the heat is even.
- If you find that your saucepan is too small to fit both the chocolate and a spatula or spoon, feel free to use tongs instead.
- If you are worried about triggering a steam burn by reaching into hot water, simply pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it out with a spatula.
- Once the chocolate is melted, let it cool at room temperature until it is firm enough to break into shards.
- If you live in a warm climate, you may need to refrigerate the bark for a few hours before serving.
How to Store Chocolate Bark
- Room Temperature: Store out at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
- Freezer: Store in a freezer safe container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw and enjoy!
