Ingredients

Chocolate

  • 1 high quality chocolate bar of your choice we like Ghirardelli Intense Dark

Toppings (Mix and match what sounds good to you!)

  • toasted coconut
  • dried fruit
  • toffee

  • roasted nuts
  • caramel popcorn
  • coarse sea salt
  • pretzel pieces
  • toasted marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200℉.
  • Unwrap a chocolate bar and place on a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Warm in oven until just barely soft and slightly glossy on top.
  • Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle desired toppings on. Let set again to room temperature, or place in fridge to speed up process.
  • When ready to enjoy, break into squares or irregular pieces.

Notes

  • These are best made and consumed fresh. If left to sit for longer than a day or so, chocolate still tastes amazing, but might take on some discoloration.
