Brew Choc Roasted Almond and Pistachio Chocolate Bark
I needed chocolate and I needed it fast. I looked in my cupboards. I had Brew Choc...(I always have Brew Choc). I had nuts. I had the best Belgian chocolate around. I had coconut. I had a Thermomix. The race was on. This is the end result. Fast! (How fast can you melt chocolate?)
It didn't last long. I admit it...but I will end up making another batch for gifting. Because I can. Because it is delicious. Because I'm just like that! A chocolate gifter! From way back.
