Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler and spread onto a 9x13 flat tray, either foam or plastic. (This can also be done in a 9x13 pan, but is a lot easier in a flat tray.) 2. Place in freezer to allow to set. 3. Melt white chocolate in a double boiler, and spread over the dark layer, working quickly. 4. Scatter the toppings over the white chocolate, and using a spatula press into the chocolate to make sure it sets. 5. Cut with a knife into neat squares. If you are having a hard time, dip the knife into very hot water, dry and cut bark immediately.

If you’re preparing this recipe in larger quantity do not do everything at once, as the chocolate will set before you have a chance to put all topping on. ___ For the most professional results, use a very high-quality chocolate. Premium white and dark chocolate can be purchased at exclusive bake supply shops.
