As it’s only been Jacob’s first year at school, I’ve never done the whole “buying gifts for teachers” thing. He’d had five teachers over the course of the year, so I didn’t really want to spend too much money. Therefore, I decided we would go for the personal touch and make some chocolate bark!

There are so many variations – you could chuck in whatever ingredients you want. We made two versions: white chocolate with salted caramel pretzels and fudge pieces and milk chocolate with crushed honeycomb and dried fruit. It’s so easy to make too – it can be done in ten minutes, plus setting time in the fridge.

The ingredients listed are suggestions – you could use whatever you have in your cupboard. This is just a cheap easy gift idea, or even great to snack on whilst watching a movie. Kids and adults alike will love it!

Milk chocolate honeycomb bark

Ingredients

600g milk chocolate, broken into squares
2 Crunchie chocolate bars, roughly smashed/crumbled
70g dried berries & cherries

White chocolate pretzel bark

Ingredients

600g white chocolate, broken into squares
16-20 salted caramel pretzels
50g mini fudge chunks (like these)
rainbow star sprinkles (like these)

Method

Line a large deep rectangular baking tray with grease-proof paper, or use a silicone one with no need to line.
Gently melt your chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water.
Leave to cool for a few minutes, then carefully pour into the tray.
Top with your chosen ingredients, and gently press down if needed. (For the honeycomb bark, leave a little honeycomb to sprinkle over the top).
Put it in the fridge to set, then have fun breaking it up!
Put in cellophane bags to give as gifts, or a bowl to share; either way, enjoy!
