Make-It-Yours Sweet And Salty Bark
- 12 ounces Ghirardelli(R) Dark Melting Wafers 1 package
- 1/2 cup sweet toppings such as Ghirardelli(R) Classic White Baking Chips, crystallized ginger, toasted coconut, almond toffee bits, diced candied orange peel, chopped dried fruit (cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries or apricots), and/or crushed peppermint candies
- 1/2 cup salty toppings such as chopped toasted nuts*, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds, cashews, peanuts, macadamia nuts, crushed pretzels, toasted pumpkin seeds*, pepitas, and/or crumbled crisp-cooked bacon
- Line a large baking sheet with heavy foil; set aside. Place Ghirardelli(R) Dark Melting Wafers in a microwave-safe container. Microwave at half power or defrost setting for 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly (product keeps its original shape until stirred). If not completely melted, continue to microwave at 15-second intervals and stir until smooth. Overheating will cause wafers to burn. Spread melted wafers on prepared baking sheet in a 10x8-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Immediately sprinkle with desired sweet toppings and salty toppings; press toppings lightly into bark. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm. Use foil to lift candy from baking sheet; carefully break candy into pieces.
- Recipe Tips
- To store, layer candy between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- *To toast nuts or seeds, preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Spread nuts or seeds in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until light brown, watching carefully and shaking pan once or twice.
- White Chips Variation: Prepare as directed, except substitute Ghirardelli(R) White Melting Wafers for the Dark Melting Wafers.
