If you read my blog regularly, you know i am a mum who just wants to make recipes healthier without compromising their taste. And sometimes recipes do come out better with healthier variations.This particular recipe of 5 minute homemade chocolate bark is no exception. Although you do not need any recipe to make these delicious 5 minute chocolate bark, but you do need the process right.Also the better chocolate you choose to make it with, the better the flavors.
You have many options in the market. I refer to make mine with either Bournville or Lindt dark chocolate. The baking chocolate slabs will do, but naturally the flavors will differ. Then i too add a bit of vanilla and butter. Here you need unsalted butter.
This year i tried to make these for gifting as well. And the lot i made for home vanished quicker then i expected.I did add a bit of sugar ,as kids dont like it bitter, but you may change it to your personal preference.
