Peppermint bark with Dark Chocolate. Eggnog Bark.What is bark? Chocolate Bark is a little like candy bars. Chocolatiers take melted chocolate, lay it out flat, and add toppings either mixed in, or on top. When the chocolate sets, you are left with a delightful treat!

1 cup chocolate chips- choose your flavor
Toppings of your choice!
Wax or parchment paper
Place the chips in a microwave safe bowl. melt at 50% power for 1 minute.
Stir.
Microwave again, at 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chips are melted.
Lay wax or parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
** If you want to mix in your toppings, do so now!
Spread melted chips (and mix ins) onto the wax paper; spreading evenly.
Add toppings while the chocolate is melted.
**If making a two chocolate layer bark, pour 1st chocolate and let harden before pouring the 2nd layer!
Let the chocolate sit until hardened, or place in refrigerator.
