Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 cup espresso beans
- 0.5 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
Using a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Stir the espresso beans into the melted chocolate until they are evenly coated.
Pour the chocolate and espresso bean mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread it out into an even layer using a spatula, about 1/4 inch thick.
If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of sea salt over the top for extra flavor contrast.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to set for about 1 hour, or until completely hardened.
Once set, break the bark into rustic pieces by hand or using a knife.
Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
