Brilliant - a real winner!
I used pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and desiccated coconut (all lightly toasted to bring out the flavour).
The only thing I altered was the temperature to melt the cacao butter nibs (maybe this depends on the size or density of the nibs?); 50°C didn't melt them so I increased to 60°C and that worked fine.
My first tester, on being informed that this was 'chocolate bark', asked "What's the 'bark' bit? This is real chocolate!"
This chocolate is really good - thank you
Can I use cacao nibs instead?
