Recipe: Mint Chocolate Bark

Hey guys! Back with another recipe! (should this be a regular thing? Let me know in the comments). This recipe is super quick and is perfect if your in a hurry or have had a bad day, and you just want a quick treat to keep you going! 

INGREDIENTS

• 99g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
• Green food colouring
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 226g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• optional: 1/3 cup chopped Andes mints

METHOD

1. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
2. Melt the white chocolate Use a double boiler or microwave. If using microwave, stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to help avoid seizing. Once melted and smooth, stir in oil, peppermint extract and 1 drop of the food colouring. Set aside.
3. Melt the dark chocolate in the same way you melted the chocolate in step 2. Pour onto prepared baking tray and spread out into a large rectangle. Drizzle the white chocolate mixture on top in lines. Use a toothpick to swirl the layers together. Optional: Sprinkle the top of the bark with Andes mints.
4. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature in a cool & dry environment. My bark usually takes around 45 minutes. If needed, you can put it in the refrigerator to help speed up the process. Once hardened, break into pieces as large or as small as you would like.
5. Store in an air tight container at the back of the fridge and snack on it whenever you want!

This recipe is so simple and so yummy! Enjoy!

Make-up Q&A

• What’s your favourite eye shadow colour to wear? Natural golds and browns/ bronzes as these colours help to bring out my blue eyes.
• What’s the one product you wouldn’t leave your house without? My trusty Blistex lip-balm for when my lips are feeling a bit dry.
• What’s your favourite makeup look?  I prefer a light and natural make-up look with a gold & brown eye look. I also quite like to apply a pink blush (usually MAC's 'Peachykeen') to the apples of my cheeks to create a more flirty look. 
• Which feature do you play up the most? My eyes.
• Which feature do you try to downplay/cover up? My nose and any blemishes that may have appeared (do they count ahah).
• Your favourite makeup brand, if you could pick only ONE to exist? MAC !!
• Which product have you re-purchased OVER and OVER again? The 'Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer' as it is my favourite low-medium coverage concealer and I wear it basically everyday (which causes it to run out rather quickly too).
• Which product would you NEVER repurchase again and why? This is a hard one as I like pretty much any product I buy but if I had to pick one it would be the 'Garnier BB Cream' because I purchased the lightest shade and it was still a few shades too dark. :(
• One beauty treatment you would always PAY to have done? Manicure/ Pedicure.
• One beauty treatment you would NEVER pay to have done? Probably a facial.
• One beauty trick you can share with everyone? If you have dark under-eye circles, sweep a light shade of concealer on the "crease" of the bag and then apply your normal shade of concealer on the rest of it. This illuminates and lifts the circles and gives a more flawless finish.
• Best advice you've ever been given regarding beauty and makeup? Drink plenty of water! Your skin, hair and nails will thank you.
