Ingredients

  • 400 gms – 14 oz. dark chocolate
  • 200 gms – 7 oz. white chocolate
  • Chocolate pearls

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 200 g – 7 oz of dark chocolate.
  2. Line a 20 cm – 8 x 8 in square baking dish with baking paper, and spread the melted dark chocolate over the surface. Refrigerate until hard.
  3. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt 135 g – 4 ¾ oz of white chocolate, and spread it over the first layer of dark chocolate. Refrigerate again until hardened.
  4. Melt the remaining dark chocolate and white chocolate in two separate bowls.
  5. Spoon a little of the melted dark chocolate into a piping bag, and spread the rest over the hardened bark.
  6. Spoon all of the white chocolate into a piping bag. While the final layer of chocolate is still warm, pipe circles of white chocolate to form ghosts. Using a toothpick or metal skewer, drag one end of each circle out to create a tail.
  7. Using the dark chocolate in the piping bag, pipe eyes and mouths onto the ghosts.
  8. Add some chocolate pearls and refrigerate to harden completely.
