Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark

by

1. Prepare the Edible Cookie Dough:

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, and mix until well combined.
  2. Mix in the Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Add the Chocolate Chips:
    • Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Set Aside:
    • Set the cookie dough aside while you prepare the chocolate for the bark.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Bark:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet or milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
  2. Spread the Chocolate:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it into an even layer, about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Add the Cookie Dough:
    • Drop small chunks of the edible cookie dough onto the melted chocolate, gently pressing them in so they adhere. You can use your fingers or a spoon to create small, irregular pieces of cookie dough for texture.
  4. Top with Mini Chocolate Chips:
    • Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips over the top of the bark for extra crunch.
  5. Optional: Drizzle with White Chocolate:
    • Melt the white chocolate in the same manner as the semi-sweet or milk chocolate. Use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the white chocolate over the bark in a decorative pattern.

3. Chill and Serve:

  1. Chill the Bark:
    • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  2. Break into Pieces:
    • Once the bark is set, remove it from the refrigerator and break it into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.
  3. Serve:
    • Serve the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips for Success:

  • Heat-Treating Flour: Heat-treating the flour ensures that it’s safe to eat raw, eliminating the risk of harmful bacteria. Make sure the flour cools completely before adding it to the cookie dough.
  • Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Chocolate chips or baking chocolate both work well.
  • Variations: Feel free to customize the bark by adding nuts, sprinkles, or other types of chocolate chips to the mix.
