Chocolate Almond Bark
Sometimes all you need is a sweet bite-size snack that will give you enough energy to finish off the day in the best way possible.
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Dark chocolate (good quality chopped)
- ½ cup Almonds
- ¼ cup Unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
- In a medium bowl melt a little more than half the chocolate over a Bain Marie. When the chocolate has completely melted take it off the heat and add the remaining chocolate, stir until smooth and completely melted, let it cool slightly.
- Add the almonds, coconut and dried cranberries to the bowl and mix everything together.
- Pour the mix on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and spread it with a spatula or a spoon. Refrigerate the bark for 3-4 hours or until firm. Overnight is best. Enjoy!
Notes
To make a bain marie for melting chocolate be sure that the water in the pot does not touch the bottom of the dish. Heat the water to a slow boil and stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Homemade Chocolate Almond Bark will last about 5 days at room temperature and about 2-3 weeks if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To freeze it, break the bark into pieces and wrap them in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer bag and they will last for about 6 months in the freezer.
