Once set remove from fridge and using hands crack the bark into smaller segments depending on what you need them more.

You can spread/pour out the melted chocolates in an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan, or simply spread on a baking sheet, where the thickness is up to you. If necessary, remove the remaining chocolate pieces (if they have not completely melted) and the tempered chocolate is ready to use.The bark can be left at room temperature for a few days in colder months, but it gets a little soft. For the frosting I just went for a classic american buttercream frosting of unsalted block butter (not a spread), icing sugar, with peppermint extract added in!
