What is a chocolate bark? Chocolate Bark is a sheet of chocolate, that is covered with nuts, dry fruits, candies and sometimes more pieces of chocolate.

This is my first one in the creation, but certainly not the last one. You will see more kinds as we near the holiday season. They make the perfect hostess gift.

It was very hard to keep my girls away from this bark when they discovered that there is any such thing sitting in the refrigerator. I planned this behind their back since I know that they wouldn’t let me shoot this and pounce upon it and finish it all at the same moment.

But they did find out! It was quite a maddening game. They kept touching it and I kept slapping their hands. Finally, I gave them a piece each and settled down to click some quick pictures. They were back again since the bark just melted in their mouth in an instant. LOL! Love the munchkins! They are like Little bears who find their honey anyhow!
