Ingredients
  

  • 450 gms Semi Sweet Chocolate Roughly Chopped

Toppings ( Quantity is optional to your taste )

  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Dried Rose Petals
  • Candies
  • Oreo crushed
  • Pistachio finely chopped
  • Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces.
  • Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval. Make sure you don't overcook the chocolate and burn it. Instead of microwave, double boiling method can be used too.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick. Don't bother about creating a perfect rectangle shape.
  • Sprinkle the desired toppings on the melted chocolate. Gently press the ingredients into the chocolate.
  • Let the chocolate cool and firm up at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours. Time depends on the room temperature also. To make the process faster, place the baking sheet in the refridgerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into as many pieces and you would like. Size is your choice.

Notes

Use semi sweet chocolate from the baking section in the grocery store.
The toppings used are absolutely your choice.
Have the toppings ready to sprinkle onto the melted chocolate. If the chocolate starts to harden, gently press the topping onto the chocolate. 
Don't break the bark into pieces until it's fully hardened. Otherwise, you'll leave fingerprints on the chocolate.
Store the chocolate barks in an air-tight container for up to 1 week or keep chilled in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
