BARK UP THE SWEET TREAT TREE

Yum-m-m, chocolate!

Chocolate bark has been a holiday staple for years.

Today, baking connoisseurs are pushing the delicious boundaries to give bark some extra bite Bark, a sheet of silken chocolate studded with little bursts of contrasting flavor and texture, is a classic for holiday parties and gift giving.

Now the familiar treat has new bite, crunch, crackle and character, according to flavor trendtracker Beth Nielsen, Chief Culinary Officer, NielsenMassey Vanillas Inc., Waukegan, Illinois.

But even though bark may be going exotic, it’s easy to make and flavor with your favorite add-ins.

Start with fine chocolate.

“The quality of the chocolate is the major determining factor of good tasting bark!” writes Ellane Pirotte in an email interview.

Pirotte with her daughter Mara owns Armoire Chocolat and Spring Thyme Bakeshop in the Seattle, Washington area.

“The better chocolates are made with finer beans and better processing, “ Pirotte says.

She recommends using a “couverture” chocolate, which has a high percentage of cocoa butter.

It’s available in some supermarkets and in food specialty stores.

(Pirotte uses Agostoni brand coverture chocolate.)

Other experts suggest looking at the percent-

age of the cacao bean in the chocolate. It’s listed on the label of better chocolate.

“The higher the number the stronger the chocolate flavor, “ says Kathryn Gordon, professional baking instructor and co-author of “Les Petits Sweets: Two-Bite Desserts from the French Patisserie” (Running Press, 2016).

(Intense 70 percent chocolate bars are available in most supermarkets.)

Properly melting chocolate through a process called tempering is another assurance for highquality bark with snap and sheen, according to Gordon.

As delightful as chocolate is on its own, you can also spice it up.

Chocolate and chili combinations are popular, Nielsen says.

She’s also seeing floral accents, such as lavender and orange blossom.

Add in excitement with dried fruit, toasted nuts, pretzels, mint candies or crystallized ginger, says Gordon.

Here’s how to do it. —>

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING

5 great bites from bark In the event you have leftovers, try these innovative ideas to utilize bark as an accent: 1. Prepare mini ice cream sandwiches, using cookies.

Finely chop chocolate bark. Roll the sandwich on its side over the bark so the edges of the ice cream are bark coated, says Kathryn Gordon, professional baking instructor.

2. Coarsely chop bark and sprinkle over a frosted cake or brownies, gently pressing bark into frosting.

3. Cut bark into sticks and arrange over cocktails as stirrers, says Nielsen.

4. Rim a glass, Nielsen says.

Mince bark and place on a plate. Wet rim of shot glasses with liqueur of choice. Dip in bark to coat rim. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Fill with the liqueur.

5. Put a banana on a stick; brush with melted chocolate and sprinkle on bark, Gordon says.

Bark: Sweet or heat Sweet topping: ½ cup sweetened, dried chopped cranberries ½ cup chopped salted pistachios Or

Heat topping: Scant 1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili powder ½ cup finely chopped dried mango 1/2 cup chopped salted pistachios 1 pound good-quality chocolate, chopped into small pieces For sweet topping, combine cranberries and pistachios. Set aside.

For heat topping instead, combine chili powder and mango. Toss to coat mango. Add pistachios. Set aside.

Line a 10-by-15-inch cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Place ½ pound chocolate in top of double boiler over but not touching simmering water. Make sure no water or steam gets into chocolate. Melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. It should read 112 to 120 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Remove top pan from double boiler.

Gradually stir in remaining chocolate. If chocolate isn’t smooth and melted after 10 minutes, return to double boiler and warm for 10 to 15 seconds. The chocolate should be 89 to 91 degrees, according to Ellane Pirotte.

Pour chocolate onto parchment paper, forming a 12-by-8-inch sheet. Sprinkle on topping of choice, pressing into chocolate. Set aside in a cool room to set.

Break bark into pieces.

Makes about 4 dozen (1-by-2-inch) pieces.

For more delicious bark, try one of these toppings: 1. Toasted coconut curls and salted macadamia nuts 2. Minced candied orange peel and toasted almonds 3. Minced crystallized ginger and toasted cashews 4. Crumbled graham crackers and mini marshmallows 5. Crumbled, salted pretzels

You can’t go wrong with a gadget for your guy.

ad 100312962-01

Give men useful holiday gifts, not fluff (BPT) — Let’s face it — most men are really hard to buy gifts for. If you’re trying to choose a meaningful gift this holiday season, consider what he will actually use and appreciate, not what you believe expresses your feelings. And please not another tie.

Many of us simply don’t pay enough attention to what gift recipients (particularly men) are likely to value, according to research from Stanford Business. And men in general are less interested in the symbolic value of a gift than its actual usefulness or utility, meaning “women are best off getting their guy a gadget” says research referenced in The Atlantic.

Here are some great ideas for utilitydriven gifts for men this season: Electronics: This category encompasses a wide range of gadgetry from the latest smartphone to the most cutting edge TVs, alarm clocks, drones, speakers, gaming systems, home theater systems, laser printers, GPS devices, remote controls or photography accessories. If it offers an advancement over what men currently own, it’s likely to be a winner.

Outdoor gear: According to outdoor retailer Gander Mountain, some of this year’s most sought-after gifts for outdoorsmen include the YETI Hopper Flip 12 Cooler, which is easily transported to the most remote tree stand, duck boat or campsite; the Lew’s Mach Speed Stick Series Rods, a high-quality graphite blank fishing rod optimized for both recreational and tournament fish-

ing alike; the Infinite Edge Pro Archery package from Diamond by BowTech, a comprehensive archery kit that offers everything you need to start bow hunting; or the Luci Collapsible Outdoor Solar Light, which solves on-the-go lighting issues using the capacity of 10 ultra-bright LEDs. The experts at Gander Mountain are knowledgeable within the outdoor industry with a focus on everything related to hunting, fishing, camping and shooting sports.

Other hobby-related items: Highly unique to the gift recipient, this category could include most anything designed for real-life practical use.

Examples include sports gear, metal detectors, books, pet gear or supplies for art, photography, music, cooking, woodworking, travel, etc.

Automotive gear: These selections might range from scanners that diagnose mechanical issues or electric waxing/polishing kits, to dashboard cameras, auto vacuums and even the latest in jump starters, tools and work stations.

If you’re really at a loss as to what to give the men in your life, consider just asking them. But giving careful thought to how they really spend their time could work just as well.

“Think about things that might be just out of his price range or that he wants but can’t really justify buying for himself,” writes James Cave in the Huffington Post. “These are the perfect gifts for the holidays.”
