Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Soy-free dark chocolate
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure that it fits well and covers all corners.
Chop the soy-free dark chocolate into small, even pieces. Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval to ensure even melting. This process typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, stir in the pure vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate into an even layer, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the raw almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut evenly over the melted chocolate.
After topping, lightly sprinkle the sea salt over the entire surface for a touch of savory contrast.
Gently press down on the toppings with a clean spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure they adhere to the chocolate.
Allow the chocolate bark to set by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour or until fully firm.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and break the bark into irregular pieces of desired size using your hands.
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness.
