Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams white chocolate
- 75 grams salted almonds, roughly chopped
- 50 grams dried cranberries
- 50 grams dried apricots, chopped
- 50 grams pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Directions
Step 1
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are covered.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over simmering water (double boiler method) or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 3
Once the dark chocolate is completely melted and smooth, pour it onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to desired thickness with a spatula.
Step 4
Melt the white chocolate using the same method. Drizzle it over the dark chocolate in thin streams using a spoon or piping bag.
Step 5
Quickly scatter the chopped almonds, dried cranberries, dried apricots, and chopped pistachios evenly over the chocolate mixture while it's still warm.
Step 6
Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top to enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere as it cools.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate bark to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 60 minutes or speed the process along by placing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Once set, break the chocolate bark into irregular pieces using your hands.
Step 10
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container, keeping it in a cool, dry place, and enjoy as desired.
