Chocolate Walnuts Basic Bark

I can’t tell you since how long this Chocolate Walnuts Basic Bark has loomed my mind. So many images from pinterest and instagram kept making their appearances before me and I kept procastinating it.

After I made it, I shamed myself at the thought of pushing it out for such a long time. The Chocolate Walnuts Basic Bark is the most happy and fun recipe that I have ever worked on.

If you ask me, it is practically a no-recipe recipe. Ya! Ya! Ya! That’s me…sometimes I do say confusing things. But I am sure you got me, right? 😉

Would you call this bark handsome or beautiful? It seems to me, the hero right out of Mills & Boons stories. Tall, Dark & Handsome!

Err…on the other hand , it also appears as a brunette beauty with long silk velvet tresses and chocolat-y love.

Now you pick and choose – Handsome or Beautiful?

The lush and melt in the mouth bits of Walnuts in the good company of Chocolate, makes your heart pound harder, almost skipping a beat!

Life is good, when chocolate is around!

I believe in the above saying. It is a saying, made up by me. I make my own stuff up! 😀

Well my mom always advises me to pop a piece of chocolate in my mouth, whenever I feel low and sad. I say – mom I am low today! Her fixed reply is – Put a piece of chocolate in your mouth. It works! Everytime!

What is a chocolate bark? Chocolate Bark is a sheet of chocolate, that is covered with nuts, dry fruits, candies and sometimes more pieces of chocolate.

This is my first one in the creation, but certainly not the last one. You will see more kinds as we near the holiday season. They make the perfect hostess gift.

It was very hard to keep my girls away from this bark when they discovered that there is any such thing sitting in the refrigerator. I planned this behind their back since I know that they wouldn’t let me shoot this and pounce upon it and finish it all at the same moment.

But they did find out! It was quite a maddening game. They kept touching it and I kept slapping their hands. Finally, I gave them a piece each and settled down to click some quick pictures. They were back again since the bark just melted in their mouth in an instant. LOL! Love the munchkins! They are like Little bears who find their honey anyhow!

Some Chocolate lust from my blog are – Chocolate Walnut Crisp Biscuits , Dark chocolate & walnut Brookie , Double chocolate Brownie , chocolate nuts mini hand pies and many more.

I know you are drooling right now and thinking of putting this bark of lust and greed together as soon as possible. So here it is – the recipe to your dispense.

Walnuts - 2 tbsp finely chopped

Chop the walnuts into small pieces. Set aside.
Break the dark chocolate bar and white chocolate bar into pieces.
Place both the chocolates in separate bowls.
Place both the bowls in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Take them out and stir the chocolates in both the bowls. Please use separate spoon/fork for each chocolate bowl.
Place the bowls again in microwave for 15 seconds.
Take them out and stir well till the lumps of chocolate are dissolved into silk and smooth chocolate.
If there are still some undissolved pieces, then microwave further for 10 seconds and stir again.
Now pour the dark chocolate on the baking tray in a pattern desired. Make sure not to have a very thin layer.
Now pour the white chocolate over the dark chocolate in the desired pattern.

Notes

You can use chocolate chips also. If you want to use only 1 kind of chocolate, either dark or white, you may use as desired. Do not over heat the chocolate or else will have that burnt taste.
