This Award Winning Chocolate Bark is a mouthwatering, easy and no fail recipe!
The bark itself is really delicious, but you can take it to the next level by choosing different toppings to fit your color scheme and taste buds!
The better quality chocolate and praline paste you use, the better the bark will taste. We like purchasing our chocolate by a baking supplies store such as The Peppermill.
For the packaging, we decorated kraft boxes with scrapbook paper and ribbons. You can get very creative with packaging the bark because it is easy to cut it into any size.
We have used this recipe in so many different ways and for so many different occasions. We love it for sending to a simcha, mishloach manos, as a gift or a party favor.
