I made Chocolate Bark https://www.google.co.uk/images?um=...olate+bark+in+jar&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= yesterday using Asda Smart Price milk chocolate (which I actually prefer to Cadbury's or Galaxy - it has a smooth texture and 'clean' taste).... I also used Smart Price salted peanuts instead of pistachios, almonds etc (salt and choccy go well together and it's a much cheaper alternative).
10 Bars of Smart Price Milk Chocolate (£3 total)
1 Large bar of Asda White chocolate (£1)
2 small bags of Smart Price Salted Peanuts (56p)
6 Asda Kilner Storage Jars (£4)
Line two large roasting trays/swiss roll tins with thick kitchen foil or baking parchment.
Crush the two bags of peanuts (I did it with a rolling pin while they were still in their unopened bags for minimum mess).
Melt the Milk Choc in a bowl over boiling water (less likely to burn than doing it in the microwave)
Once it's all melted and very runny, stir in one and a half bags of the peanuts and divide the mixture equally between the two prepared trays. Spread evenly to the edges and put to one side.
Melt the white chocolate until smooth and runny and then place teaspoons of it in random splodges over the Milk Choc/Peanut mix in the trays....
Use the edge of a knife/ end of a potato peeler to swirl the two colours into pretty patterns and then sprinkle with the remaining crushed nuts.
Pop into the fridge to set for a couple of hours or so.
Take out, loosen and remove the foil carefully and then cut each block into three ... place a section onto a clean Tea Towel and hand break into lines/triangular sections that will fit into your jars - repeat with each section.
Then just pop into the jars ( I added a bit of colour/sparkle with some shredded plastic foil - like this but from Card Factory so much cheaper lol https://www.bakerross.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=EX514&src=froogle)
Close the jars, seal with sellotape and tie a pretty ribbon round the top and Hey Presto

Really Scrummy (and very good looking) bark for under £10 - Result!!!
