Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200g) plain dark chocolate bar/block of choice, broken into squares
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Line a medium-sized flat baking tray with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Prepare a double boiler with a heat-proof mixing bowl over simmering water.
  • Add chocolate to the bowl and gently melt over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once melted and smooth, turn off the heat.
  • Add half the chopped mint leaves to the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
  • Carefully pour chocolate onto the lined tray in a small round.
  • Take a spatula or spoon and gently spread the chocolate out to 3-5mm thick or until desired thickness.
  • Sprinkle over remaining chopped mint.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and set for 30 minutes - 1 hour or until chocolate has completely hardened.
  • Remove and set at room temperature for 5 minutes to slightly soften, this makes it easier to cut the bark so it doesn’t crack into tiny pieces.
  • Cut bark into shards with a sharp knife.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: Keep mint chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
 
  • Freeze: Wrap each piece securely in cling film, then in foil. Place these in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. The double wrapping helps prevent chocolate discoloration, known as bloom.
 
  • Thaw: To enjoy after freezing, transfer the container or pieces from the freezer to the refrigerator, letting the bark come to fridge temperature.
