Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and set aside.
Roughly chop the almonds and pistachios. Set them aside separately along with other toppings like shredded coconut and cranberries.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take approximately 2 minutes.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate’s flavor.
Immediately pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch using a spatula.
Evenly sprinkle the chopped almonds, pistachios, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and sea salt flakes over the melted chocolate.
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate using a flat spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure they stick as the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the chocolate bark for about 1 hour or until it has completely hardened.
Once set, remove the chocolate from the refrigerator and break it into irregular pieces with your hands or cut it with a sharp knife for more uniform pieces.
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and snappy.
