Stir it after every thirty seconds it is in the microwave.
Remove it from the microwave, stir it with a large, wooden spoon, and then return it to the microwave until another thirty seconds passes.

Use a rubber scraper to extend the mixture to the sides of the sheet.
Use the same scraper to pat the mixture down so that it is even.Pour the mixture slowly, or you may unintentionally make a mess. , Put the sheet into the freezer as soon as the ingredients have been poured and patted down.
It can take anywhere from five minutes to twenty minutes in the freezer.
The freezer is best to use because it allows the mixture to cool off quickly.If you do put it in the refrigerator, allow the mixture an hour to cool. , Once you remove the mixture from the freezer, put it out on the counter or kitchen table.
Wait until the bark reaches room temperature to cut it up.
It shouldn’t take very long for the bark to reach room temperature—maybe five or ten minutes., You can break or cut the bark into pieces.
Breaking it will leave a less uniform look.
Cutting the pieces allows you to shape the bark as you wish.
Use a sharp kitchen knife to cute the bark., Unless you are immediately eating the bark, store it in an airtight container.
