This is special enough to give as a gift at Christmas time. One of the best I've tasted! A few hints when making this bark: -Don't make layers too thin -Take out of the refrigerator a few minutes prior to adding white layer to ensure bonding. -Works best with good quality chocolate. Look for white chocolate that contains cocoa butter.
