Ginger Bark

TF is a big fan of ginger: pickled ginger, candied ginger, ginger tea, etc. He's also quite fond of dark chocolate. So... why not combine them?

Ginger Bark (with a Hint of Orange)
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 c. crystalized/candied ginger
6 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
2 tsp. orange extract

1. In the top of a double-boiler or in a small pot set over a heat diffuser, melt the semi-sweet chocolate.
2. Chop half the ginger into small pieces and stir into the melted chocolate.
3. Pour the chocolate out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread to make a ~5mm-thick slab. Allow to cool.
4. Melt the dark chocolate (over a heat diffuser or a double-boiler).
5. Stir in 2 tsp. of orange extract. (I only used 1 tsp. and it wasn't enough.)
6. Pour the dark chocolate on top of the semi-sweet and spread out so that it completely covers the slab.
7. Chop the remaining ginger into large chunks and sprinkle on top of the dark chocolate. Press the ginger into the surface lightly and allow to cool.
