Chocolate Cookie Bark
Chocolate cookie bark is the easiest candy, and it's so delicious! Simply melt chocolates and mix them with cookies and nuts. A candy bar in no time. Perfect for gift-giving during the holiday season and to make with kids.
Servings 1 pound
Ingredients
- 6 ounces milk chocolate chopped or chips
- 6 ounces white chocolate chopped or white chocolate chips
- 3 ½ ounces chocolate cookies or plain chocolate wafers, crushed
- 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped and toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper that will fit in your refrigerator.
- Melt 6 ounces milk chocolate and 6 ounces white chocolate separately in different bowls. I use the microwave (10-second spurts, mixing well between each) or use a double boiler.
- Mix 3 ½ ounces chocolate cookies with the white chocolate.
- Mix 1 cup walnuts with the melted milk chocolate.
- Place small mounds of each chocolate on the prepared sheet, making a rough rectangle.
- With the tip of a knife marble both mixtures a bit, not much, you don’t want all flavors completely mixed.
- Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, until completely hardened.
- Separate the cold chocolate carefully from the paper. Break into pieces by hand and keep in tins with a tight lid.
Notes
Chocolate: you can even use chocolate chips for this recipe, but I use candy or tempered chocolate, the kind you buy for homemade candy. It is seriously easy to use, and the finished product is shinier.
Variations: You can mix and match any combination of chocolate and cookies. There is no right or wrong, only your personal palate.
Chocolate: use white, milk or dark chocolate. Or melt two or three together and use it as one chocolate (my favorite combination is the one I use in the peanut clusters).
Add-ons: use any nut, candied fruits, dried fruits, chopped or ground cookies, or chopped candy bars. I can go on and on, but you get the idea.
