Ingredients
  

Chocolate Bark
  • 300 g dark chocolate chopped
  • 150 g white chocolate chopped
  • 1.5 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tbsp molasses optional
  • 2 tbsp crystallized ginger finely chopped, for topping

Equipment

  • Skewer or knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Prepare a double boiler or microwave-safe bowls for melting chocolate.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Spread the melted dark chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate. Stir in the ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and optional molasses until well combined.
  4. Drizzle the spiced white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped crystallized ginger evenly over the swirled chocolate. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30-45 minutes, or until completely firm.
  6. Once firm, remove the bark from the refrigerator and break it into irregular pieces. Store the gingerbread chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate. You can adjust the amount of spices to your preference. This bark makes a wonderful homemade gift during the holiday season.
