# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent fifteen minutes.
  • The contrast between crispy chips and smooth chocolate feels unexpectedly luxurious.
  • Everyone asks for seconds, and it disappears faster than you'd expect from something so simple.
02 -
  • Cold chocolate shatters and snaps; room-temperature chocolate bends and falls apart messily—so chill it fully before breaking.
  • Don't use chocolate chips if you can help it; they contain stabilizers that prevent proper melting and make the final texture waxy instead of glossy.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to break the bark if you want neater pieces, but hands work best for that rustic, homemade look.
  • If your kitchen is very warm, add an extra 10 minutes to the chilling time so the chocolate doesn't soften and stick to itself when you break it apart.
