Honey Chocolate Bark

Looking for a last-minute holiday gift? Or just need to treat yourself in the middle of all those holiday preparations? Homemade chocolate bark wrapped up nicely makes a wonderful personal, edible stocking stuffer. Adding honey, nuts, berries, and spices to chocolate lets you make just the combination you like! Here are two recipes for pairing dark- and white- chocolate with Hawaiian honey, but feel free to play around with the additional ingredients!

Ingredients for the dark-chocolate

• 2 cups dark chocolate chips (or about 400 g dark chocolate, chopped)
• 1/3 cup Organic Lehua and Cinnamon Honey
• 1/2 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
• 1/3 cup chopped raw almonds
• 1/4 cup ground almonds

Ingredients for the white-chocolate

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup Macadamia Blossom Honey
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions (for both types)

1. In a double boiler (or a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water), slowly melt chocolate, stirring occasionally.
2. When the chocolate is mostly melted, add honey, and stir until all is smooth and well combined.
3. Quickly stir in remaining ingredients, mix well, and remove from the heat.
4. Immediately spread the mixture evenly in a rectangular shape on a parchment lined pan or flat plate. Chill uncovered for about 2 hours, then break chocolate apart into desired size of pieces. Store in a cool, dry place.
