Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 75 grams dried cranberries
- 75 grams roasted unsalted cashews
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method: place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and glossy.
Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer approximately 1/4-inch thick using a spatula.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries and roasted cashews evenly over the surface of the melted chocolate.
For a sweet and salty contrast, lightly sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate (optional).
Allow the chocolate bark to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once fully hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
