Ingredients
  

  • 350 grams Milk Chocolate

Toppings of Choice

  • Candy Canes, Pretzels, Breadsticks, Sprinkles, Chocolate Chips (Whatever you wish)

Any Flavourings You Want

  • Salt, Orange Zest, Peppermint, Chilli (If you like)

Instructions
 

  • LIne a baking tray with reuseable baking parchment.
    (Leaving a bit of over hang or a tab that you can use to lift out the bars)
  • Break up your chocolate and place in a heat safe bowl. Now melt.
    You can do this in the microwave for blasts of 30 seconds stirring inbetween each.
    Or you can place over a small saucepan of simmering water making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl stirring to melt.
    If you wanted to add flavourings to the chocolate now is that time. I like having milk chocolate and having the toppings add different flavours.
  • Pour the molten chocolate into the lined baking tray and spread to cover.
    You want to give it a good few bangs on the work top to get rid of the air bubbles that will have formed during spreading.
  • I use breadsticks to seperate the sheet into three individual bars. This makes portioning easier and decorating simpler. You can also change the flavours of each bar with the toppings.
    Now have fun and use the toppings as you wish. I think simple graphic designs are super effective. Make sure you press each decorative item into the chocolate to make sure it sticks in.
  • Once you are happy with the designs then allow to chill down and stash in the fridge to completely harden.
    Once completely hard you can unmold and give to your loved ones or enjoy it yourself. If you wish to cut it you can cut into bars.

Notes

Quick Tip

If you lay out your toppings on the baking tray without any chocolate that gives you the opportunity to move things about your design and perfect it.
