[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's favorite pecan tassies.  I always do a batch just for him that we don't put on plates and deliver to neighbors.  One more batch of chocolate bark, this amazingly ridiculously easy receipt from Better Homes and Gardens.  I have the ingredients for cranberry-pistachio chocolate brownies but think I'm going to run out of time since I WOH.[/quote]

Love pecan tassies but I'm the only one in my family that does - so will not be making them.  How do you make the chocolate bark?  That sounds like something that my family would love.[/quote]

I'm at work so doing this from memory but it's crazy easy...

Line cookie sheet with tin foil

Break 2c of bittersweet chocolate (basically two baking-size bars) into pieces and melt in microwave for 1min on medium.  Stir and continue to add 20second intervals until fully melted.

Mix half of toppings (see below) into melted chocolate and pour on the foil in a roughly 9in square. 
 
Sprinkle remaining toppings on the chocolate, pressing in any large pieces.
Refrigerate for 1/2hr and break into pieces.

As for toppings, the recipe offered four or five different variants.  We tried:
1. Break up 3/4c of baby pretzels and mix with 3/4c of chopped dry roasted peanuts (our favorite)
2. Mix together 1/2c chopped cashews, 1/4c sunflower seeds, 1TB toasted sesame seeds, dash of sea salt (also good)
3. I didn't do it but there were also options for peppermint/mocha bark (crushed peppermint candies and chopped chocolate-espresso beans) and salted caramel-sea salt [/quote]
