Jane’s Patisserie’s Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark
Introduction from Jane Dunn
We all know that I adore chocolate bark, because how can you not?! Melt a load of chocolate, then decorate it however you like. This time I wanted to make a nutty chocolate bark because, like my Peanut Brittle on page 186, it’s an easy homemade gift idea, a delicious, sweet snack and it’s such a versatile recipe that you can cater to what or who you want! Use your favourite chocolate, or a combination of your faves, then whatever nuts you like, or a combination… you do you!
Ingredients
Essential kit
You will need: a microwave.
Method
PREP: 10 minutes. BAKE: 5 minutes. SET: 1 hour. LASTS: 1+ week, at room temperature.
In a heatproof bowl, break up the chocolate into pieces. Melt in the microwave in short bursts or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie) until smooth. Pour in most of the nuts and dried fruit, then stir.
Pour onto a large, lined baking tray and spread evenly. Sprinkle on the rest of the chopped nuts and fruit, then scatter over the sea salt and set in the fridge for 1 hour.
Break up and enjoy.
Notes: You can use any nut, and any dried fruit. Leave out the salt if you prefer, but it adds a nice element of flavour and crunch.
