Sweet and salty, these three-ingredient candies make an awesome gift. Though we love the combinations suggested below, you can experiment to your heart’s content, adding any kind of dried fruit, nuts, seeds or spices to complement the deep savor of the candied bacon and chocolate.

Ingredients

For White Chocolate Bark with Cranberries:

For Dark Chocolate Bark with Coconut:

  • 10 ounces good quality dark chocolate, chopped

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  4. Let the chocolate harden, then cut into 2 x 2-inch pieces. 
  5. Refrigerated in an airtight container, the candies will keep up to 1 week.
