Can you melt chocolate chips or chocolate bars then cool them into one big bar?

Question by Katy Noe: Can you melt chocolate chips or chocolate bars then cool them into one big bar?
If i can do that how would i let it cool? Is there a certain type of chocolate i need? How would i melt it? I’m doing this for a class project. I am making it look like chocolate “tree bark”. I was planning on carving in the wood design once it was cooled. Thank you for your help if you answer!

I’d melt the chips and spread it evenly over some wax paper. Regular chocolate chips work just fine (I have done something similar before), but some grocery stores and craft stores also sell special melting chips that melt more easily.
If you really want a “tree bark” look, buy some dark chocolate chips and some milk chocolate chips. Melt them separately and then swirl them together slightly before you spread it out. It’ll have different tones of brown in it, making it look even more like real wood
