This easy chocolate bark recipe is so simple to make for the holidays, or to top a party cake, or to crunch and munch while slumped like a potato sack for an evening of couch-sitting. Make it as a hostess gift, or break it into shards and set in a candy dish for your own holiday fete.

Easy Chocolate Bark
Makes 16 shards of varying sizes

4 cups of high-quality dark or milk chocolate (I used Lindt Surfin brand dark chocolate)
Mix-ins of your choice (I used crushed up meringue kisses and sprinkles)

Over low heat (or in the top of a bain-marie), carefully melt your chocolate, watching to ensure it does not burn.

Once melted, pour onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spreading with an offset spatula to the edges.

Sprinkle your favorite toppings on. Let set in fridge for an hour until firm.
Break into pieces and enjoy!
