Coffee Lovers Bark

"I came up with this one in a pinch of needing to do something for my hubby for Father's Day and no extra cash. He loved it-now I'm thinking I will make this for Christmas and pack it in nice coffee mugs for my coffee loving friends, relatives and teacher gifts."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 18 ounces white chocolate chips (Bag and a half)
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (I used Nescafe Tasters choice)

• Optional

• semisweet chocolate (to garnish)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
2. On a baking sheet lay out parchment paper and spread out white chocolate.
3. Place in oven until morsels melt (Only takes a few minutes).
4. Remove from oven and spread out chocolate evenly.
5. Sprinkle instant coffee granules over chocolate (you may choose to use a bit more-I just wanted a "hint" of coffee flavor-not to over-power the chocolate).
6. Take a fork and dab (not swirl) the granules into the chocolate (you may need to return pan to re-soften chocolate for a minute).
7. At this point you can either allow to cool so you may break it into pieces or add a few well placed chocolate chips on top (allow to melt by placing in oven for another minute or so) and "swirling" semi sweet over white with a fork for a "mocha" look Or melt semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle over white chocolate.
8. Allow to cool in fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
9. Break apart.
10. Makes 4 snack size bag servings (The perfect size to tuck into a coffee mug if giving as a gift).
11. Note: You may increase the chocolate to 18 oz (a bag and a half) and coffee granules to almost 2 tsps if you like.

What a great idea! Nice recipe for when it's too hot to make other sweets. We also tried this (in a smaller version) on a stoneware baking pan in the toaster oven, and used a coffee "mocha mix" (sort of like International Coffees) and that was good, too. Thanks!
