Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 0.75 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces for consistent melting.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
Once melted, pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the chopped apricots, roasted almonds, dried cranberries, and crystallized ginger evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press the toppings down with the back of a spoon or your hand to ensure they stick.
Let the bark cool and set at room temperature for 2-3 hours or place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to speed up the process.
Once fully set, break the bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
