DOVE® Chocolate Bark

This bark has a delicious bite! Be sure to make it part of your holiday tradition.

Prep time: 20 min.
Difficulty: Easy

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
• 1 bag DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate
• 1 1/2 cups (approximately 10 oz.) whole blanched almonds, cut into thirds
• Non-stick cookie sheet or 9 x 13-inch baking pan
• Foil

WHAT TO DO:

1. Put the DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate in a mixing bowl, and place the bowl on top of a pot with simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is about 2/3 melted. Remove the bowl from the water, and continue stirring until all of the chocolate has melted. (For the microwave: Put the DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Once 2/3 of the chocolate has melted, remove from the microwave and continue stirring until all of it has melted.)

2. Fold the chopped nuts into the chocolate.

3. Spread the chocolate mixture onto a non-stick cookie sheet or foil-lined 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

4. Loosen the "bark" from the pan, and break it up into bite-size pieces.

5. Store in an airtight container, and keep in a cool area or refrigerator.
