Birthday Bark

With my new life of working in the restaurant business, weekends, birthdays, and nights off are something of the past. But, with a new restaurant repertoire on my resume, birthdays also come with the expectation of homemade, tasty gifts. Especially when it comes to my family.

With my sister’s birthday coming up, I knew I had to make her something that wouldn’t take too much time (sorry sis, free time is also a thing of the past) that she would love. Since spying on fellow food blogs is one of my favorite past-times, when I found the idea for cake batter chocolate bark, I knew I had found my sisters perfect gift. 26 years young, she has a sweet -tooth and childish ideology to match.

There’s no exact recipe here; simply melt about a pound of your favorite dark chocolate (and temper, if you have the patience and time) and spread a thin layer on a sheet tray lined with a non-stick surface. Let harden for about 30 minutes in the fridge. While dark chocolate is hardening, melt about a pound and half of white chocolate and whisk in 2 tablespoons of your favorite yellow cake mix. Pour over dark chocolate, cover with rainbow sprinkles, and let harden. Break into chunks, and put away in gift bags immediately…or it all may be eaten first!

Play On,
