Chocolate Toffee Bark

Here is a homemade Christmas gift someone gave us. It is a type of chocolate bark, but none like I had ever had before. This bark is not a particularly solid bark, like the usual melted chocolate  with maybe a few nuts, fruit, or candies thrown in. This bark is a bit softer, but equally, if not more so, delicious! It is a marbelled mixture of semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate (with more semi-sweet chocolate, just the way I like it). There are toffee bits stirred into the chocolate, adding a new, yummy butterscotch flavor and a little crunch. The bark is then sprinkled with a few festive red and green sprinkles for a decorative look. When I first smelled this bark, I could not figure out what the extra flavor was. At first I thought it was peanut butter, but then I narrowed it down to butterscotch. It turned out to be toffee bits, which work really well with the chocolate. Homemade gifts such as these are tasty and easy gift ideas. Bark is a particularly good one, because it is very quick and easy to make, and you can make a big batch of it as once. It also keeps for quite a while, and it is rare that you can go wrong with a chocolate gift!
