There is no better signal to wind-down a dinner party than passing out parting gifts. In other words, it’s time to depart y’all. Don’t get me wrong, I like a dinner to go late but since we do a lot of meals on work nights, there is that delicate balance of accommodating those who have buckled in for the long haul and those who have 6 AM wake-up calls. So, after dessert and coffee the conversation usually continues, especially these days.
Chocolate bark is an easy to do candy that all you really have to do is melt your favorite chocolate recipe on a double boiler, plop it on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and throw whatever you like on top, put in the fridge for a few hours, chop it up and bag it and send them merrily on their way.
The better the chocolate, the better the bark.
