Love is…

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.

Try this chocolate bark which will go down very well when entertaining (you can serve it as dessert with vanilla ice cream). This is also a great gift to pack beautifully into a gift box with tissue paper when invited to a dinner party. I used milk chocolate, yet dark chocolate also goes down well.

All you need to do really is melt the chocolate then pour it onto a cut grease proof paper (making sure the paper is big enough), top with fresh berries and sprinkles of your choice. Enjoy. also see the tips section below.

Tips:

1. Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Or place water into a pot and top with a heat proof bowl (do not let the water touch the bowl). Place roughly chopped chocolate into the bowl. Heat the pot on medium heat (the water should simmer not boil). Melt the chocolate while stirring.
2. After melting the chocolate, remove from heat and keep on stirring until the chocolate is slightly cooled and thick prior to pouring onto the grease proof paper.
3. This is so quick and easy to make. If using fresh berries, the bark has to be eaten on the day. dried berries can also be used to keep the bark for at least a week.
