  • It comes together faster than most cookies and requires zero baking skill or fancy equipment.
  • People always assume it took effort, so it makes you look like a genius at parties.
02 -
  • Do not rush the melting process or you will end up with seized chocolate that looks like wet sand and refuses to spread.
  • Use parchment paper, not wax paper, because wax paper can stick to the chocolate and ruin your bark when you try to peel it off.
  • Let the bark set fully in the fridge or it will smudge and crack messily when you try to break it apart.
03 -
  • Temper your chocolate if you want a glossy finish and a clean snap, but honestly for bark this casual, straight melting works just fine.
  • Try sprinkling crushed pretzels, toffee bits, or even a pinch of smoked salt on top before chilling for unexpected flavor twists.
  • If the chocolate starts to harden before you finish spreading it, pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds to loosen it up again.
