Description
This easy chocolate bark recipe looks fancy but takes less than 10 minutes to make. Perfect for gifting, a last-minute dessert, or a treat all for yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup whole nuts (optional, any combination)
- 12 ounces quality dark chocolate (chopped)
- 6 ounces quality white chocolate (chopped)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (or dried fruit/candies of choice)
- ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- If adding nuts, begin by toasting them. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Place the nuts on a rimmed baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Alternatively, toast over medium-low heat in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes. Let cool slightly and roughly chop.
- Line a separate rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side. If needed, chop chocolate into small pieces and gather/prepare any other toppings as desired.
- Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval. The chocolate is done when it is about 90% melted, keep stirring, letting the residual heat melt the chocolate fully.
- Repeat the process with the white chocolate, using a separate bowl.
- Working quickly, spread the dark chocolate mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet, using an offset spatula to spread into roughly a 9×13-inch shape (about ¼-½ inch thick). Spoon the melted white chocolate randomly over the dark chocolate. Then use a wooden skewer or butter knife to swirl it together.
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts and dried fruit, and flaky sea salt over the top of the chocolate. If needed, very lightly press the toppings into the chocolate.
- Let the chocolate cool at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours, until completely hardened. Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into large pieces, or cut into wedges.
