  5. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
  6. Immediately pour the melted dark chocolate over the walnuts, spreading it into a thin, even layer.
  7. Allow the chocolate to stand until it begins to firm up slightly.
  8. Melt the white chocolate in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same method as the dark chocolate.
  9. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in a zig-zag pattern.
  10. Refrigerate the bark for 15-20 minutes or let stand at room temperature until completely set.

  12. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers in a cool, dry place.
