Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 100 grams Pecan halves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Dried cherries
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt flakes
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Place the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
Add the butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and granulated sugar to the skillet with the pecans. Stir continuously until the pecans are evenly coated and slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Chop the dark, milk, and white chocolates into small, uniform pieces and place each in separate microwave-safe bowls.
Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Repeat the process for the milk chocolate and then the white chocolate.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick using an offset spatula.
Drizzle the melted milk chocolate and white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in a random pattern. Use a toothpick or skewer to create swirls by dragging it through the three chocolates.
Evenly sprinkle the spiced pecans and dried cherries over the chocolate while it is still melted. Gently press down to ensure they adhere.
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes over the chocolate bark for a final touch.
Let the chocolate bark sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set. Alternatively, place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the bark is completely set, break it into irregular pieces and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
