Preparation

Gingersnap Dark Chocolate Bark

  2. Place the dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan that has a bit of water at the bottom (about 2 centimetres of water).
  3. Melt the chocolate over the double boiler using hot, but not boiling water. Stir regularly as chocolate is melting.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate on the lined baking sheet and spread evenly using a spatula until it is approximately 1/8 to 1/8 inch thick.
  5. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the pieces of Purity Gingersnap cookies over the melted chocolate.
  6. Let the bark cool for approximately one to two hours in the refrigerator.
  7. Once it is cool, break into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container or package in cellophane bags tied with ribbon and handwritten labels for the perfect homemade gift.
