Bonnie Stern's S'mores Chocolate Bark

There are many recipes and sophisticated variations for chocolate bark, some mentioned below, but I have found over and over again that this riff on s'mores is the one people can't resist. (Not sure if that is good or bad.) The better the quality of chocolate you use, the better the results.

Mocha Semifreddo

Peppermint Candy Cane Bark

This bark has a refreshing kick that's perfect for mint-chocolate lovers. Most bulk-food stores have crushed candy canes, but you can make your own by pulsing the candies in a food processor.

Cherry Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Sweet glacé cherries and vivid pink icing give these sumptuous brownies a nostalgic retro look. Make them a couple of days ahead, then spread on the fruity icing just before serving.

Iced Cappuccino Float

Tastes from around the world spice up any picnic or backyard party.

Gluten-Free Rocky Road Snowballs

Enlist your favourite helping hands to roll these delights and coat them in coconut. For a nut-free variation, replace walnuts with chopped glac?herries.

Triple Chocolate Cookie Mix

Intensely flavoured cookies are just the thing when you want a chocolate fix. To avoid sifting when making them, separate the chocolate chips from the other ingredients with waxed paper.
