Luke Hines’ Chocolate Bedtime Bark
Ingredients2 cups dark chocolate, melted 1/4 cup toasted pistachios 1/4 cup toasted macadamias, each cut in half 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes 1/4 cup dried blueberries |
MethodStep 1. Melt the chocolate until lovely and smooth, then allow it to cool slightly to thicken. Step 2. Line a small flat tray with baking paper. Pour the chocolate onto the tray, ideally filling right to the edges if the tray is small enough. Scatter the nuts, coconut and blueberries all over the chocolate. Step 3. Transfer the tray to the fridge for the chocolate to set firm, locking in all of your toppings. Step 4. Break the chocolate into shards and enjoy. |
