Chocolate Almond Bark is a classic sweet snack that is so simple to make. Make a pan of almond bark, break it up, wrap it in colorful plastic wrap and tie it with ribbon for a great anytime gift.
Makes: 1 pound
Chilling Time: 1 hr
Cooking Time: 2 min
What You'll Need:
2 cups (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
1/3 cup (2 ounces) white baking chips
What To Do:
In a medium microwaveable bowl, microwave milk chocolate chips with shortening on high power 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in almonds.
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Pour in mixture.
Place white baking chips in a heavy-duty resealable plastic storage bag and microwave on high power about 45 seconds, or until chips are melted. Knead chips until smooth. Snip a tiny bit off a corner of the bag and drizzle white chocolate over milk chocolate in pan. Using a knife, swirl white chocolate through milk chocolate.
Chill about 1 hour, or until set. Remove foil, gently place almond bark on a cutting board, and cut into pieces with a knife.
