What Is Almond Bark?
8.24.2007
I am a little shocked at the number of people both on the internet and in real life that want to make candy coated pretzels, dipped chocolates, homemade truffles, etc. but are lost when they read a recipe that calls for almond bark.
No, almond bark has no almonds.
No, it has no nuts at all.
No, it's not the finished confection you buy in a candy shop with bits of nuts or candy in it.
No, it is not bakers chocolate, unsweetened chocolate or anything similar to those.
Yes it is in your grocery store.
Yes it is near the chocolate chips - usually on a bottom rack.
Yes it comes in chocolate flavor or vanilla
Yes it comes in large blocks that you either cut apart with a large knife or bang on the counter top to break apart. (Much much larger than tiny baker's chocolate blocks.)
