Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate chips
- 200 grams white chocolate chips
- 100 grams crushed peppermint candies
- 100 grams pretzel pieces
- 75 grams toasted almonds
- 75 grams dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring often, until smooth.
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper and spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick using a spatula.
Melt the white chocolate chips following the same method. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in a zig-zag pattern or random streaks.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies, pretzel pieces, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries evenly over the chocolate layers while they are still wet.
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate with the back of a spoon to ensure they stick.
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes lightly over the bark for a finishing touch.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate has fully set.
Once set, break the bark into uneven pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the Winter Crunch Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
