Notes
Microwave Melting: I like using short bursts and stirring often so the chocolate melts evenly without scorching.Even Thickness: I spread the chocolate into a medium-thick layer so it sets cleanly and breaks into sturdy pieces.Salt Timing: Sometimes, I sprinkle the flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still soft, so it sticks without sinking.Setting Time: I let the bark fully firm up before breaking it so the pieces look clean and defined.
