Hi team,
No matter what the scale says, there’s a place for treats this holiday season. Try this festive recipe, which is pleasantly sweet but not overloaded with sugar.
Homemade Chocolate Bark:
- 1 pound (454g) dark chocolate, 70% cacao or higher (chocolate chips work great)
- ¾ cup nuts of choice, chopped (suggested: walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts)
- ¼ cup dried fruit of choice, chopped (suggested: cherries, cranberries, apricots, or raspberries)
Directions:
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate over low heat until smooth.
- Remove from heat and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread chocolate over parchment-lined pan.
- Immediately sprinkle chocolate with nuts and chopped dried fruit.
- Let cool slightly, then freeze for about 2 hours or until solid. Once frozen, remove from the freezer and break into pieces (roughly 25).
