Instructions
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients and Equipment: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces for easier melting.
-
Melt the Chocolate: Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add chopped chocolate and stir occasionally until it’s mostly melted, then stir until smooth.
-
Combine and Spread: Stir in the nuts and seeds until they are fully coated with melted chocolate. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a 1/2-inch-thick layer.
-
Cool and Harden: Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, break the bark into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Customization: Swap the dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate, and use different nuts or seeds based on preference. You can also add dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added flavor.
- Storage: Store the bark at room temperature for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container, or refrigerate for a firmer texture for up to a month.
