Mocha in Bark Recipe

[peter rabbit]

Hi, I am making a chocolate bark and want to add a mocha flavor. I have a ganache recipe that adds coffee powder but I want to add to a bark recipe and not sure when to add the coffee powder in the tempering process and what the portion should be (i.e. amount of coffee powder to pound of chocolate) Any ideas or recipes would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'd add it after tempering - amount is going to have to be determined by experimentation.

Good luck Peter and do post a photo and also tell us how much and what kind of coffee powder you used. Should be an interesting taste. Are you putting anything else into the bark or on top of it?
