Chocolate bark is a simple confection made by melting chocolate and spreading it out on a flat surface to cool and harden. It can be made with various types of chocolate, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. Once the chocolate is spread, toppings like nuts, dried fruits, or sprinkles can be added for extra flavor and texture. After the chocolate has cooled and solidified, it is broken into pieces, resembling bark from a tree, hence the name. Chocolate bark is popular for its versatility, as it can be customized with different ingredients to suit personal tastes or seasonal themes.
