Hi Bold Bakers! Since we are in the throws of a season that is all about gift giving and festive food then it makes perfect sense to marry the two together. These Homemade Chocolate bars are not the usual holiday bark you see. Set in real chocolate bar molds these elegant bars are just a few simple ingredients mixed together but you get these Big & Bold results. Already have an account? As always my flavors are subjective. I highly recommend you get creative and make what you enjoy. Likewise if you are giving it as an edible gift you can customize the ingredients to your family or friends favorite flavors. Some people like spicy chocolate, some like salty and so on. My Mum always said “paper never refused ink” and I think the same can be said for these Chocolate Bars. Rocky Road Homemade Chocolate Bar
Rocky Road is such a popular flavor, and although its origins are for an ice cream flavor the idea of a chocolate bar just seems to be a natural progression for this flavor.
Packed full of toasted nuts and squishy marshmallows, this bar’s texture is both crunchy and squishy, my two favorite textures.
Milk Chocolate is best used for the Rocky Road because of its sweetness. The milk chocolate compliments the other ingredients so well.
White Chocolate & Peppermint Homemade Chocolate Bar
To get really festive for the holidays, I suggest using something you always have on hand–candy canes! Not only does this bar pair lovely white chocolate and Peppermint, I added graham crackers (or any cookies will do) to get an extra lovely texture with every bite.
You always have leftover candy canes during the holidays so now you have another way to enjoy them.
Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars
Dark Chocolate is my absolute favorite and I often can eat it just by itself. But with the simple addition of my Signature Caramel Sauce, you’ve hidden a rich, sweet surprise inside of every chocolate bar you create.
Creating filled candy bars is really simple. Just create your dark chocolate shell, let it set and then add anything you want inside with another layer of chocolate on top to hide it in there. It’s a sweet surprise in every bite!
Wrap up these homemade candy bars with fancy paper or even give them away in a lovely box or tin. You’ve just created a homemade gift made straight from your heart.
Δ Δ Do you think you could try doing a chocolate bar with three or more layers… white, milk and mint? With a hidden ingredient? Thanks for the great recipes, Jess Thanks for your help. Here i am, again!! :O (oh, you’re gonna hate me!) I was wondering, how long would these last on the shelf outside the refrigerator? Considering the chocolate is only wrapped with a foil and wrapping paper (no air tight seal) ? I live in a city with low humidity. Would they last longer if they are sealed? Thankyou once again! 🙂 Lots of love, Sanjana
