Easy Valentine's Day Chocolate Bark with layers of dark and white chocolate and topped with M&M's® Strawberry. The perfect little gift for your loved one!
Chop your semi-sweet or dark chocolate into small pieces.
Heat little water in a pan on medium-low heat. Once the water starts simmering (not boiling) put the bowl with the chocolate on top of it. The base of the bowl should not be touching the water. This is called the double-boiler method, you may also melt your chocolate using the microwave.
Whisk at regular intervals, add in 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and keep mixing till all the chocolate melts.
Remove the bowl from heat and pour the melted chocolate in a 8 inch square pan lined with parchment paper.
Spread the chocolate with a spatula making sure it reaches all corners. Now keep the pan in the refrigerator for 10-12 minutes [no more!]
While the pan is in the refrigerator chop the white chocolate and transfer it to a bowl.
Place the water on top of a pan with simmering water (not boiling). Make sure the base of the bowl isn't in contact with water.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil and keep whisking till all the white chocolate is melted.
Take the pan out of the refrigerator, the 1st layer of chocolate will be little set by now (but not completely set - you don't want that!).
Pour the melted white chocolate on top and spread it using a spatula. Make sure the white chocolate completely covers the chocolate layer underneath.
Sprinkle M&M's® Strawberry on top.
Refrigerate for around 1 hour. Once the bark is set, break it into pieces and enjoy!
