Halloween Dessert Bark with Edible Flowers Halloween Dessert Bark with Edible Flowers

Method

  • Gently wash your fresh edible flowers and carefully dry with a paper towel
  • Melt the chocolate over a bain marie and allow to cool slightly
  • Smooth out your melted chocolate over greaseproof paper to approximately half a centimetre thick with a large pallet knife
  • Once Smooth, carefully place you fresh and pressed edible flowers on top, spreading evenly all over
  • Sprinkle your chosen toppings and dried edible flowers in gaps – you can add as little or as many as you would like!
  • Add your sprinkles – you can place them neatly or go mad and throw them on!
  • With a food–safe brush, dip into the edible glitter and tap over the bark to add the perfect, sparkling finishing touch
  • Place the chocolate on a chopping board to keep flat and put in the fridge until the chocolate has set
  • Once set, use a sharp knife, and cut into sections. The chocolate will break up and you’ll be left with yummy Halloween edible bark

You can add this bark to your favourite dishes or enjoy it by itself as a lovely rich Halloween treat. Instead of chocolate, @whipandwhiskcakery suggest that you can use yoghurt to make your bark. In addition, if you wanted to add some unique flavours into your bark, our Halloween shiso dust could be sprinkled atop or added to the chocolate during the melting process.
