# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It delivers that perfect salty-sweet balance that keeps you reaching for just one more piece.
  • Five minutes of actual work time means you can impress people without feeling like you've labored in the kitchen.
  • The contrast between crispy chips and smooth chocolate creates a texture experience that's genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • Humidity is your enemy—if your kitchen is steamy, your bark will bloom (that whitish coating that forms when chocolate isn't stored properly), so keep that fridge door closed and work quickly.
  • Don't skip the double boiler method if you're worried about burning chocolate; it genuinely does make a difference in smoothness and shine.
03 -
  • If your chocolate starts to seize or becomes grainy, add a teaspoon of coconut oil and stir gently—it usually rescues the situation.
  • Use a bench scraper instead of a knife to break the bark into pieces; it's less likely to crack the chocolate and feels more intentional.
