Ingredients
Scale
- INGREDIENTS
- 250 grams (approx. 9 ounces) top quality chocolate melts (milk, dark or white)
- 20 grams (approx 1 ounce) salted, roasted pepitas (sunflower seeds)
- 50 grams (approx. 2 ounces) diced, mixed dried fruit (I buy a packet of mixed dried cranberries, blueberries, persimmons and pomegranates)
- 70 grams (approx. 2.5 ounces) salted, roasted pistachios, shelled and cut into pieces
- White candy sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add the chocolate melts to the bowl and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, pour the chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly with a spatula to your desired thickness.
- Sprinkle the salted, roasted pepitas, diced dried cranberries, and pistachios evenly over the melted chocolate.
- Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere as it cools.
- Allow the chocolate bark to set at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once set, break the bark into pieces and serve or package as gifts.
Notes
Use top quality chocolate for the best flavor. Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to two weeks. Feel free to experiment with different toppings like other nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.
