I know, before I write any more there will be a few of you thinking this is something for the holiday season, but really why should it be? After all, chocolate is good any time (just ask my sons!). I have seen variations for Valentine's Day and Easter, but let's expand things.

This easy chocolate bark is versatile enough to be perfect for any time of year. It's conveniently red, white and blue so it will be right at home at Memorial Day and 4th July cook outs. Plus it would make a great gift any time of year.

It's easy enough to be just the kind of things the kiddos could make for Mother's day, too (and I bet you'd have happy recipients!). Maybe with some Hershey kiss cookies alongside, too.

How to make chocolate bark

Enough of trying to explain why this makes sense at this time of year, let's just get on to how you make it.

Pretty much any chocolate bark is made by melting chocolate, spreading it out in a thin layer, then topping it with whatever you choose to add in. That can be dried fruit, nuts, or candies.

Here I kept things relatively healthy with freeze dried fruit and nuts, but the result is both tasty and pretty. But you could add some small candies too, if you like.

I've extended the berry flavor into the chocolate itself with a dash of raspberry flavor in there. It really helps make it feel that bit more special and adds an extra depth of fruitiness. Feel free to skip if you prefer or don't have.

Once you've added your toppings to the melted chocolate layer, gently press them in and just leave it to firm up. I'd recommend you don't put it in the fridge as this can mean the chocolate discolors. Just be patient.

Once firm, peel the chocolate off your baking sheet and break is up into chunks. You can either store it in a box or package it up ready for gifting. Why not also make some turron (Spanish nougat), marron glacé (candied chestnuts), hot chocolate fudge, chocolate peanut clusters or saltine cracker candy to make a mix of treats.

This blueberry raspberry chocolate bark is easy to make, fruity and with a great texture from the toppings. It's perfect to give as a gift. Or snack on it yourself, there's no judgement here. We found it hard to stop at just one piece, just warning you.
