Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams whole almonds
- 100 grams pecan halves
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
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.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
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.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and pecan halves evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press them down so they adhere to the chocolate.
Optional: Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top for added flavor contrast.
Allow the bark to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 30 minutes).
Once the chocolate is firm, break it into irregular pieces using your hands.
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.
