This was my first time watching a vid of yours. It seems you're taking a lot of hits on this and I'm not sure why, healthy doesn't equate to low cal. I made this bark within 24 hours using date syrup and it's such a treat if you like dark chocolate. A suggestion regarding nutrition info is to calculate by ounce, not by "piece," which is really not measurable unless they are all cut the same, and then we need to know how many pieces it makes. It would be more accurate using a more measurable unit like ounce or half oz (my batch was about 12 oz). Great recipe, thanks much!

For optimal result, you have to template the chocolate, that means to heat dark chocolate 45-50ºC cool down to 28-29ºC and then heat it up to 32-33ºC. Easy way to do it is heating 1/3 of your chocolate, then when it is hot you add the solid chocolate, satírico inútil you have all chocolate melting and then heat it up just a litle bit in the microwave. The result it is a glowing bar with a perfect snap. Store this in a cupboard, chocolate gets moisture and odors in the fridge...

@@M_K_M_K_M_K Pretty much yes. I'd remove it from the stove and stir while adding in some unmelted chocolate pieces. Once teh chocolate is becoming less runny, you have to guess when to stop adding in unmelted chocolate in order for the pieces you tossed in to completely melt. Reheating it again means you have to do the process again. I know I tried melting chocolate chips in the microwave, removed them from the microwave and stirred them well (they easily turned into liquid), and I would toss in a handful of solid chocolate chips, stir (doesn't take long before they melt), and toss in a few more (in a lesser quantity than the first time), and stir, stir, stir... the main bowl of chocolate does cool down as you add in the room temp chocolate chips, but the heat of the melted chocolate will melt 1-2 handfuls of unmelted chocolate. I don't know why it works, but it does. At that point you need to add in the ingredients you want to add in to make your candy, whether it be nuts, pretzels, etc...move quickly. Then place it to dry completely on wax paper, and once it has dried it does not melt in your fingers, should be shiny, and can be kept at room temp.

This is such a smart idea. I don't know how I never thought of it. I love dark chocolate so this is perfect.

Thanks for sharing. I make coconut chocolate bars like this- I just add fresh cream ( and sometimes glace cherries) to the dessicated coconut .

Do you use coconut cream for making these bars?

@@HowToCookSmarter hi. No I use fresh or 'packed' ( UHT?) cream. Just makes the dessicated coconut moist n succulent.

There are many recipe ideas from this simple recipe. I love finding inspiration from others then thinking what can I add or remove to give the final product that little something extra.
