COFFEE ROASTED ALMOND + TOASTED COCONUT DARK CHOCOLATE BARK RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Pour the almonds onto the baking sheet. Roast, the almonds halfway through, until the almonds are fragrant, about 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely to make sure they don't burn. In the meantime mix together the coffee grounds, cocoa powder and salt. Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla to a small bowl. When the almonds are done roasting add the pistachios to the baking sheet. Toss the nuts with the coconut oil and then toss them with the coffee. Toss well making sure the coffee grounds evenly coat the almonds and pistachios. It will seem like a lot of coffee, but this is what you want! Roast the almonds + pistachios until the coffee is fragrant and the almonds are starting to become crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until melted. Pour 3/4 (leaving about 1/4 of the chocolate for drizzling over top the nuts) of the melted chocolate on to the prepared baking sheet that has been lined with wax or parchment paper and spread the chocolate out to form a rectangle, be careful not to make it too thin. Immediately sprinkle on half of the toasted coconut, then sprinkle on the almonds and pistachios, leaving out most of the coffee grounds. If desired, sprinkle the bark with a few tablespoons of the coffee grounds that were left on the baking sheet (I probably used about 1/4 cup). Add the remaining toasted coconut and then drizzle the remaining melted chocolate overtop of everything. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Peel off parchment, and break bark into pieces.

COFFEE LOVERS BARK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
• On a baking sheet lay out parchment paper and spread out white chocolate.
• Place in oven until morsels melt (Only takes a few minutes).
• Remove from oven and spread out chocolate evenly.
• Sprinkle instant coffee granules over chocolate (you may choose to use a bit more-I just wanted a "hint" of coffee flavor-not to over-power the chocolate).
• Take a fork and dab (not swirl) the granules into the chocolate (you may need to return pan to re-soften chocolate for a minute).
• At this point you can either allow to cool so you may break it into pieces or add a few well placed chocolate chips on top (allow to melt by placing in oven for another minute or so) and "swirling" semi sweet over white with a fork for a "mocha" look Or melt semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle over white chocolate.
• Allow to cool in fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
• Break apart.
• Makes 4 snack size bag servings (The perfect size to tuck into a coffee mug if giving as a gift).
• Note: You may increase the chocolate to 18 oz (a bag and a half) and coffee granules to almost 2 tsps if you like.

COFFEE BARK

Steps:

• Roast the coffee beans on a cookie sheet in a hot oven for 5-10 mins, or until you can start to smell them.
• Heat wax and chocolate in the top of a double boiler. I used a metal mixing bowl over a sauce pan of boiling water. Heat the water just to a simmer prior to adding the chocolate in the top. Too hard of a boil will heat the chocolate too quickly and cause it to seize up. Be sure to heat the chocolate just until melted, then remove from heat.
• Add the warm coffee beans to the melted chocolate/wax mixture, and stir to cover completely.
• Pour mixture out onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and allow to cool overnight.
• Break into bite sized pieces and enjoy!
• I must warn you that this is not something that you'd want to give to small children or eat a lot of in one sitting as the caffeine really packs a whallop!
