Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon chopped nuts
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

To form the moulds

  • Roll pieces of foil to form a ribbon and shape to form a heart. Fasten the ends together using additional pieces of foil.

Prepare the toppings

  • Select the toppings you are going to use. Chop any nuts and dried fruit.

To prepare the chocolate bark

  • Melt sufficient chocolate for the moulds you are going to fill.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into the moulds and smooth the tops with a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the toppings over the top of the chocolate and leave until the chocolate has set. The setting time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chocolate.
  • When the chocolate has set and has fully hardened carefully peel the foil moulds from the hearts trying not to leave any traces of foil behind.
  • Trim any uneven edges of the chocolate hearts with a sharp knife.

Notes

To store
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • This chocolate bark is not suitable for freezing.
Tips
  • Try to ensure that the inner face of the foil is smooth so that the chocolate doesn't set with any edges of the foil in it.
  • You can follow the same steps to make chocolate bark in other shapes for other times of the year such as Christmas. You could also prepare your chocolate bark in a lined tin and break into pieces before sharing.
