For the most effective way to eat chocolate, make this easy coconut chocolate bark recipe to enjoy and share.
This tasty version of chocolate bark is elevated to gourmet status by the addition of cocoa nibs, those tasty little crunchy bits of chocolate-y flavor. This yummy treat was inspired by Castronovo Chocolate, a premier American chocolatier from Florida.
Fortunately for those of us living on planet Earth, they ship, as I recently have discovered. Winter is a good time to order. I’m quite sure their version is superior so, for my recipe, while you are awaiting delivery, purchase the best chocolate you can find.
