Break into this savory-sweet chocolate bark, each piece a perfect blend of winter warmth and crunch. Break off a piece and reward yourself with the rich flavors of browned butter and sesame miso—sweet, salty, and complex, it’s a winter delight that’s both comforting and sophisticated with every bite.
Preserving the crunch
For the crispiest bark, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps maintain the snap of the chocolate and keeps the toasted sesame seeds fresh. If you prefer a softer texture, let the bark sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
