Spooky Halloween Bark

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: 10 portions (approximately!)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Break the chocolate into chunks and melt either in the microwave or over a bain marie (this just means putting the chocolate in a heat proof dish then sitting that dish over a saucepan of barely simmering water)
2. While that's melting (stir occasionally) line a 9 x 9 tin or dish with some parchment so that it covers the bottom and comes up the sides
3. When the chocolate has melted put a couple of teaspoons each into 2 small dishes.  Pour the remaining into your prepared tin
4. Add the whole blanched almonds - I put 2 together randomly across the top of the chocolate then stuck the dark chocolate chips on top to look like eyes, using a tiny bit of the white chocolate to adhere them
5. Sprinkle over the goji berries and chia seeds
6. To one of the small dishes of melted chocolate add the spirulina powder to make a vibrant green.  Spoon this into a small piping bag (or a small plastic sandwich bag), snip the end off and pipe swirls all over the top of the white chocolate
7. Do exactly the same with the remaining small dish of white chocolate, adding the orange food colouring instead of spirulina
8. Put the whole tray in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until set
9. To create shards, lift the paper out of the tin and using a large sharp knife carefully cut diagonally across
10. Can be stored in or out of the fridge

Notes

• If you don't know how to make those tiny little piping bags that are great for drizzling thin lines of small amounts of chocolate I'd thought I'd make a video.  Fancy a video?  It'd be my first ever video so I'd be all nervous and stuff!
• If you want something a little more savoury before your sweet indulgence try this Toxic Slime Mac & Cheese
