My Peppermint Bark was so yummy when I made it during the holidays. And it was a huge hit. But how to top it?
I was watching the Food Network and Big Daddy’s house was on. He made a bark with cherries, almonds and something else, I just don’t remember what it was. A light bulb went off in my head, so I ran to a piece of paper and wrote down my idea. You see, if I don’t write things down, I totally forget everything! Sometime I even forget why things are on my list.
This Almond Joy Bark has probably been done before, but I didn’t even check Google because I wanted to think I came up with something original, damn it! So don’t go bursting my bubble, ok?
ALMOND JOY BARK
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup coconut
1. Melt chocolate over double boiler. Add coconut and almond extract and mix well. Spread over a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Don’t worry about spreading it to the edges — make it as thick as you would like.
2. Sprinkle with almonds and coconut. Throw it in the fridge for 45 minutes to harden, then chop it into shards when hard!
This takes like 5 minutes to throw together and it is so addicting!
