Chocolate Coffee Bark

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Coffee Bark.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chocolate bark creation, grab a 9x14-inch baking sheet and line it with a silicone baking mat.

2. Step 2

   This will make it easy to remove your tasty treat later.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your food processor and pulse the coffee beans a few times until they’re coarsely chopped.

4. Step 4

   The aroma of freshly chopped coffee will get your taste buds excited! Now, let’s melt the milk chocolate.

5. Step 5

   Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.

6. Step 6

   Stir the milk chocolate frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to prevent any scorching.

7. Step 7

   This should take about five minutes.

8. Step 8

   If you want an extra smooth texture, feel free to add a bit of shortening and stir until it’s fully combined.

9. Step 9

   Once your milk chocolate is melted and smooth, gently fold in the coarsely chopped coffee beans, ensuring they’re well coated in that luscious chocolate.

10. Step 10

    Pour this delightful mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly all the way to the edges.

11. Step 11

    Now, pop it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the next layer.

12. Step 12

    For the dark chocolate, repeat the melting process using the double boiler method.

13. Step 13

    Stir frequently and scrape the sides to keep it from burning, just like you did with the milk chocolate.

14. Step 14

    After about five minutes, if you’d like, add some shortening for a smoother finish and mix it in well.

15. Step 15

    Once melted, remove it from the heat.

16. Step 16

    Now comes the fun part! Pour the melted dark chocolate over the chilled milk chocolate layer, spreading it evenly to create a beautiful two-toned bark.

17. Step 17

    Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let it chill for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

18. Step 18

    When it’s ready, carefully peel the silicone mat away from the bottom of your chocolate masterpiece and transfer it to a clean work surface.

19. Step 19

    Use a sharp knife to cut it into pieces; don’t worry if it cracks a bit—that’s part of the charm! Enjoy your homemade chocolate bark, perfect for sharing or indulging all on your own!.
