Spicy Chocolate Bark

2/3/2017

0 Comments

 
Chocolate bark is one of the easiest desserts you can make, and with a multitude of flavor combinations, this recipe is super adaptable to whatever is in your pantry.

For a Merlot pairing, we recommend using only the smallest sprinkling of cayenne pepper on the top of the chocolate bark. There will be a hint of heat from the cayenne, but the cinnamon spice will linger on the palate, pairing beautifully with our 2012 REININGER Merlot. ​If you’re looking for more heat and love cayenne, be more generous and try this chocolate bark with our Carmenere.

Wanting to wow your sweetheart with something handmade? This decadent truffle is easy to make and can be adapted to your taste buds and preferences. As it is, the truffles are lush and creamy with only a hint of sweetness. Use this recipe as a template, but experiment with spices, wines and toppings. We, personally, loved the truffles infused with the 2009 CPR Merlot rolled in cocoa powder and pistachios.

When removed sizzling from the oven, these stuffed portobellos have an appealing earthy aroma and a fresh tasting filling that is flavorful but not soggy. Try these mushrooms with Malbec & Syrah!
