A simple Hostess gift....

Every year I make a simple chocolate bark.
It has become a tradition in our Humble Bungalow...
it is a tasty treat.
I love to package it up and give it as a Hostess gift.

I use 225 g package of semi sweet chocolate...

melt it gently in a double boiler or in a micro wave.

Be very careful not to burn it.

I vary the ingredients from year to year.

Sometimes I use almond slices and dried cranberries.

This year 

I am using pistachios and candied ginger.

I roughly chop about a cup of pistachios and 1/2 cup of candied ginger.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper

pour the melted chocolate on top and using a spatula spread it out.

Sprinkle the chocolate with the nuts and ginger 

then put it in the refrigerator to harden.

Break it apart and put into cello bags or a pretty container.

I keep it in the fridge.

Ready for snacking or a handy gift!

This is the "test batch" 

we ate it all up 

 I need to make some more!

I plan to make a double batch next time.

How are your holiday preparations coming along?

I am one of the many volunteers who are serving a turkey luncheon to the seniors at the club so I must close for now.
