Spicy Hot Chocolate Bark

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this rich and decadent dessert will have you and your love feeling all warm and tingly. You can get this made and in the freezer before dinner, so it’s ready for dessert. The cacao butter makes this bark super rich, so a little will go a long way when sharing 😊

** The bark is susceptible to room temperatures and the heat from our hands. It’s best to enjoy immediately once you’ve removed it from the freezer (or just brake off a small piece at a time).
