Orange & Bourbon Dark Chocolate Bar

Makes: 1 regular sized chocolate bar, approximately 3.5 oz. by weight

Just 4 ingredients to make the easiest home-made holiday gift!

Ingredients

  • 4 oz dark chocolate for baking

  • 1/2 tsp bourbon

  • 1 dash orange bitters

  • 1 tsp satsuma orange juice

Method

  • Add the chocolate chips to a large bowl and lower this bowl into a larger cook pot. Pour water in the cook pot till it reaches the halfway mark of the bowl on the outside. Heat the chocolate in this water bath and melt it till it’s completely smooth and flowy. Add the bourbon, orange bitters, and orange juice to the melted chocolate, stir well on medium-low heat for a minute, then carefully take out the bowl from the pot.

  • Working swiftly, pour the chocolate into a mold (if you have one) or simply pour it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before mercilessly digging in!

Please the seul: For a little extra flair for gifting, wrap the candy bar in wax paper or aluminum foil, then double wrap with brown paper and tie it off with a rustic ribbon.
