Homemade Chocolate Bark for Chocolate Lovers

What’s in your freezer? I’m not ashamed to admit that mine is full of homemade chocolate bark because, well, why not? I much prefer homemade chocolate bark to the chocolate found in the supermarket because while it’s delicious, I’m not a fan of the long list of ingredients and all that refined sugar.

To turn this into a festive diy food gift, all you’ll need is a holiday-themed tin and some bows!

If you want to make it more christmas-y, try mixing and matching green and red colored dried fruits and nuts. It will add that extra holiday flare.
