5. Place baking sheet in refrigerator and allow chocolate to harden, about 60 minutes.
6. Lift parchment paper away from baking sheet to cut through bark with large knife and break into pieces.
Notes
If you do not own a double boiler, use a glass bowl that can sit securely on top of a saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water, but only to the point where the bottom of your glass bowl does not touch the water. Let the water come to a simmer over low heat, then turn off the heat and add chocolate pieces. Allow chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally with a plastic spatula.
