Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate (chopped or in chips)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup pecans (toasted and roughly chopped)
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly before chopping.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries, chopped toasted pecans, and sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate while it is still warm.
Lightly press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere as it cools.
Let the bark sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or until fully set. If you need to speed up the process, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Once the chocolate is firm, break the bark into bite-sized pieces and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
