# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than washing a sink full of dishes and tastes like you planned it all week.
  • The sweet and salty contrast hits in a way that makes you reach for just one more piece (and then another).
  • You can make it with whatever chocolate you have on hand, and it still works.
02 -
  • Don't let even a drop of water touch the chocolate while it melts, or it will seize into a lumpy mess that no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Use chips straight from the bag—if they're stale or soft, the whole thing loses its magic.
  • Let the bark set fully in the fridge before you try to break it, or you'll end up with chocolate on your fingers and uneven shards.
03 -
  • Temper your chocolate properly if you want that glossy snap, but if you're just making it for yourself, don't bother—it'll taste just as good.
  • Use parchment, not wax paper. Wax paper sticks to the chocolate and you'll end up peeling bits of it off every piece.
  • Break the bark into uneven pieces. It looks more homemade and interesting than perfect squares.
