# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less than ten minutes of actual work and tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen.
  • The salty crunch paired with rich chocolate hits every craving at once.
  • You can use whatever chocolate you have on hand and it still turns out incredible.
  • It breaks into uneven shards that look rustic and intentional on any dessert plate.
02 -
  • Don't rush the melting. Overheated chocolate turns grainy and won't coat the chips smoothly.
  • Use chips straight from the bag, not stale ones. Freshness makes all the difference in crunch.
  • If your kitchen is warm, keep the bark chilled until just before serving or it'll soften too fast.
03 -
  • Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for a layered flavor that appeals to everyone.
  • Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter after pouring the chocolate to help it settle into all the crevices.
  • Let the bark come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving so the chocolate isn't too hard to bite.
