METHOD

1. Set up a double boiler on the stovetop. Place a heat safe bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. You don’t want the bottom of the bowl to be touching the water.
2. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in the bowl. Heat the chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it's fully melted and smooth. Remember, it's crucial to avoid any water or steam getting into the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize up and become grainy.
3. While the dark chocolate is melting, line two large flat plates with baking paper.
4. Once the dark chocolate is melted, carefully remove the bowl from the heat. Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate onto the prepared plate.
5. Sprinkle over half of all the additions, reserving the remainder for the white chocolate.
6. Place the plate in the fridge to set.
7. Repeat with the white chocolate.
8. Once both dark and white chocolate barks are set, they can be broken into pieces and served. The Christmas Jewel Bark can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
