Cookie Friday is a bit different today. You might have noticed that already. The recipe asks for cookies, but the result is far away from cookies today. Today it’s all about chocolate! Cookie Monster would be happy anyway about this Cookie Monster Chocolate Cookie Bark – dedicated to him! I mean… look at the color! ;)
Chocolate bark sounds strange for me and many Germans I guess. We just call this broken chocolate aka. Bruchschokolade. We have the weirdest words for many things aka. Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftkapitän, for example. And yes, that is an actual word that exists. But this one here would be just »Bruchschokolade mit Zeug obendrauf«. ;) Well… the rest of the world probably knows exactly what it means by chocolate bark. Anyway.
When making this chocolate cookie bark, you do not have to create a very smooth surface. It’s actually better if the ground layer is a bit rough – the second layer sticks much better to it if there are some waves or peaks. That should prevent the two layers from separating when you break the bark into smaller pieces. Just saying’. ;)
Well… let’s melt some chocolate! The blue candy melts can be found in stores for baking supplies or online. If you have a special color for chocolate, you can color white chocolate instead – the candy melts are actually easier to handle. If you don’t like blue, use some yellow and call it tweety chocolate bark instead. :P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
7 oz. (200g) semi-sweet chocolate (70% cocoa)*
7 oz. (200g) blue candy melts*
some small cookies (Oreos, chocolate chip cookies or similar), broken apart
candy eyes
200g Zartbitterschokolade (70%)*
200g blaue Candy Melts*
kleine Cookies/Kekse (z.B. Oreos, Butterkekse oder Chocolate Chip Cookies), zerbrochen
Zuckeraugen
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Line a smaller baking sheet or cookie sheet (should fit into your fridge) with baking parchment or a silicone baking mat* and set aside.
2. Chop the chocolate and add to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat up carefully in the microwave (not too much power and not too long at a time) in 20-30 seconds intervals until melted completely. Pour on the prepared baking sheet and spread until you get a nice thin layer – don’t worry about the shape. ;) Let cool down for a moment, then place in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
3. Take the baking sheet out of the fridge. Melt the blue candy melts, the same way you did melt the semi-sweet chocolate, and then spread on top of the hardened chocolate layer. Before the blue layer sets, sprinkle with cookie pieces and press candy eyes into the chocolate. Place again in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, then remove from the baking parchment or the baking mat and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
1. Ein kleines Backblech oder Cookie-Blech (sollte in den Kühlschrank passen) mit Backpapier oder einer Silikonmatte* auslegen und zur Seite stellen.
2. Die Schokolade grob hacken und dann in einer mikrowellensicheren Schüssel in der Mikrowelle in kurzen Abständen (20-30 sek) vorsichtig schmelzen (könnt ihr natürlich auch auf dem Herd mit einem Topf köchelndem Wasser und einer Schüssel obendrauf machen). Die geschmolzene Schokolade auf das Blech gießen und zu einer dünnen Schicht ausbreiten. Kurz abkühlen lassen und dann für etwa 10 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Das Blech wieder aus dem Kühlschrank herausnehmen und dann das gleiche noch einmal mit den blauen Candy Melts wiederholen. Die Masse dann auf der Schokoladenschicht verteilen und bevor die Schicht fest wird, die zerbrochenen Cookies/Kekse und Zuckeraugen hineindrücken. Noch einmal für 10-15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen, dann vom Backpapier oder der Silikonmatte lösen und in Stücke brechen. In einer luftdichten Dose bei Zimmertemperatur aufbewahren.
