INGREDIENTS
- 250 grams (approx. 9 oz) top quality chocolate melts (milk, dark or white)
- 20 grams (approx 1 oz) salted, roasted pepitas (sunflower seeds)
- 50 grams (approx. 2 oz) diced, mixed dried fruit (I buy a packet of mixed dried cranberries, blueberries, persimmons and pomegranates)
- 70 grams (approx. 2 1/2 oz) 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.
