Ingredients

• 300 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
• 100 grams whole almonds
• 100 grams pecan halves
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Toast the almonds and pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until aromatic and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.

Step 4

Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or a microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the toasted almonds and pecan halves evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press them down so they adhere to the chocolate.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top for added flavor contrast.

Step 8

Allow the bark to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 30 minutes).

Step 9

Once the chocolate is firm, break it into irregular pieces using your hands.

Step 10

Store the Almond Pecan Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
