Part 4/7:
The presenter proceeds to prepare toppings creatively—chopping roasted hazelnuts, banana chips, and gingerbread cookies, but encourages customization according to taste preferences. The chocolate is melted using a double boiler, ensuring smooth, high-quality chocolate, which is then poured onto parchment to form a large sheet.
Optional drizzles of peanut butter, along with the toppings pressed into the melted chocolate, create a rich, textured bark. The finished product is refrigerated until firm and then cut into various shapes for packaging. Packaging in a decorative box or upcycled container makes this an elegant, edible gift that pairs well with holiday festivities or cozy gatherings. The flexibility of toppings and decorations allows for personalization, making each bark unique.
