Faux bois, a wood-grain pattern, is a beautiful way to showcase the two types of chocolate used in this bark.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes
Yield One 8-by-12-inch sheet
Ingredients

2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup finely chopped toasted almonds

Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Spread white chocolate onto an 8-by-12-inch food-safe plastic wood-grain texture mat (chineseclayart.com) using a small offset spatula.
