Cooking Tools

Sheet pan

Parchment paper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.  Line sheet pan with parchment paper including the sides.  Place chocolate bars side by side on sheet pan and place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until melted. Remove chocolate from oven and swirl with a spoon or a wooden skewer  to remove the lines and incorporate each bar to one another. Start adding all your other ingredients by layering into the chocolate. Make sure your ingredients touch the chocolate so as the chocolate cools and hardens the ingredients don't fall off.  Set aside to cool and firm up. Break apart into barks and serve!
