Description
A delightful homemade dessert for Valentine’s Day, combining the richness of chocolate with vivid toppings.
Ingredients
12 ounces of chocolate (dark, milk, or white), 1 cup of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), 1 cup of dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, or strawberries), 1/4 cup of sea salt (optional for garnish), 1/4 cup of sprinkles (for that festive touch)
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate: Start by breaking the chocolate into pieces and placing it in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s smooth and shiny., Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make cleanup easier., Pour the Chocolate: Once melted, pour the chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, leaving a thickness of about 1/4 inch., Add Toppings: Sprinkle your chosen nuts, dried fruits, and any other toppings evenly over the chocolate. Press down gently to help them stick., Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the chocolate set completely., Break Into Pieces: Once set, remove the sheet from the fridge. Use a knife or a mallet to break the chocolate into pieces of your desired size.
Notes
Store your chocolate bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can last several weeks if stored properly.
