Ingredients
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate 225g dark chocolate, 60-70% cacao
- 1 teaspoon raspberry emulsion eg LorAnn Oils (or extract/flavoring)
- ¼ cup freeze dried raspberries 4 tbsp, 5g approx
- ¼ cup freeze dried blueberries 4 tbsp, 8g approx
- ½ tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-large baking sheet by covering with parchment or a silicon mat. Break up larger pieces of the dried fruit and have the toppings all measured ready.
- Melt the chocolate either by putting in a bain marie (in a bowl over a pan/bowl with boiling water) or by melting in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between. Add the raspberry emulsion and stir through to mix well.
- Pour the chocolate onto the parchment/silicon mat and spread into a thin layer, in more or less a rectangle.
- Sprinkle over the dried raspberries and blueberries then sprinkle over the coconut. With each, try to spread them fairly evenly right to the edge and use a bit more than measured out, if needed. Leave to harden, a good hour or more, before breaking up into chunks. Store in an airtight container until needed - it will keep fine a few days, any more and the toppings may well soften.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use smaller pieces of the dried raspberries (it's a good excuse to use the little bits in the bottom of the packet!) and you may want to break the blueberries in half so they fit better.
- Don't be tempted to speed up the hardening by refrigerating the bark - the moisture will likely give the chocolate a dull, unappealing appearance and will probably soften the dried fruit to become chewy.
