Chocolate Pumpkin Bark - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
1 (12 ounce) bag white chocolate chips
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 -2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
OPTIONAL FOR CRUNCH
pumpkin seeds
chopped walnuts
chopped pecans
rolled oats
Preparation
-
Line a 9 x 13 (or 11 x 7) dish with wax paper or parchment paper. In a double boiler (or my ghetto way of filling a pot with water then putting a metal bowl over the top of it) place the milk chocolate chips inside, until nearly fully melted (should be about 5 minutes or less) and pour into the pan evenly.
Clean out the metal bowl/top part of the double boiler and melt the white chocolate chips, blending with the pumpkin and spice.
Pour into the pan and stir up here and there with a fork to create a marbled look and mix it up a little.
I prefer to leave the bark smooth but if you want to add the crunchy fixins like the pumpkin seeds, nuts, oats, etc. sprinkle them on now and press some of them into the bark with a fork if you like.
Place the pan in the fridge and chill until completely firm, I play it safe and leave it in a couple hours.
Extract the bark from the pan once it's fully set, and break up into random pieces (always fun) or for a more professional appearance, cut with a large sharp knife, keep covered and chilled until ready to serve but trust me, this will barely last leaving your house en route to the fall parties!
