I love making bark because it is so easy and everyone loves it. This chocolate hazelnut bark has a secret ingredient-Nutella. After the chocolate is melted, I stir in hazelnut extract and a big scoop of Nutella. It melts right in with the chocolate and creates a dreamy bark after it hardens. I top the bark off with chopped hazelnuts and break it up into pieces. Place the bark in a cute little tin, holiday gift bag, or a festive plate and give the gift of chocolate hazelnut bark this year. And I won’t tell if you save a few pieces for yourself:)
