Hey mimi- you were doing just fine with the chocolate, when you take it out of the oven to let sit, it will finish melting and should be spreadable. Darn. I know this recipe works well, as many other bloggers have tried it with success – and it’s a well circulated recipe online.

Now I don’t know what happened to your butter…..

i just made the bark and i’m not sure what I did wrong — I tried to follow the instructions to a T. First off, no matter how long a simmered and whisked the butter + sugar mixture, the butter would not blend into the sugar. Instead, the sugar caramelized and sort of clumped together floating on the surface of the butter. Second, even on 375 for 10 minutes, the chocolate chips would not melt completely (I bought Nestle milk chocolate chips). They melted half way and when i tried to move the pan up on the oven rack, that didn’t do the trick either. Finally, I tried to microwave them so the chocolate would melt enough so I could smooth it out (it got dry and clumpy when I tried to spatula it down) but I ended up burning the chocolate and then I had to chuck the whole darn thing.

Another baking disaster. Any ideas?
