Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Ghirardelli Baking Bars finely chopped
  • Toppings of your choice I used freeze-dried strawberries, flaked almonds, Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Squares, sea salt, edible sequins, nonpareils, and edible Easter grass

Instructions

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a shallow metal bowl.
  • Nestle the bowl over a small pot of warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water, and allow to stand for 15 minutes, stirring with a silicone spatula every 5 minutes and changing out the water as it cools.  (Take care not to allow any water to drip into the bowl of chocolate.)
  • When all the chocolate is melted and smooth, pour it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and smooth it out into a thin, even layer.
  • Sprinkle with desired toppings.
  • Allow to set/harden.
  • Break into shards.
