Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bark once set.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder into the melted dark chocolate until fully dissolved and evenly incorporated.
Pour the dark chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick using a spatula.
Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl using the same method (double boiler or microwave).
Once melted, stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder until combined.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate base in thin lines or swirls. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the two chocolates together for a marbled effect, being careful not to over-mix.
Sprinkle the crushed espresso beans and coarse sea salt over the chocolate while it is still wet, pressing down gently to help them stick.
Allow the bark to set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once the bark is completely firm, break it into irregular pieces with your hands or a knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
