It’s Valentines Weekend! And some of us just don’t have time to spend in the kitchen making fancy desserts, rolling truffles, baking cakes and whatnot. So what to do if you want something homemade to give to your loves but need it to be simple and quick?

Chocolate Bark! It’s the best answer. At the base of it all you need is chocolate and a little bit of oil. Then you can top it with whatever you’d like! In this recipe I used cacao nibs, dried rose petals and flaky Maldon sea salt. It’s truly a blank canvas for your favorite toppings. Seeds, dried fruit, seed butters, nut butters, toasted coconut, candy, go crazy!

I love to keep it in the fridge for that extra “snap” when you bite into it. Enjoy making this with your loved ones or for your loved ones. Get the kiddos involved and make your very own edible Jackson Pollock this Valentines Day or really any day!

Stay Safe Out there, Drizzlers. And Happy Valentine’s Day!
