I adore chocolate bark, especially when it has good dark chocolate! This recipe came from Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa show. I have changed a few things around. Enjoy! :D

Time 10m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 1/2 ounces very good dark chocolate, finely chopped (or semisweet chocolate)
8 ounces very good bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup whole roasted salted cashews (or almonds or roasted nuts of choice)
1 cup chopped dried apricot
1/2 cup dried cranberries (you may also use other dried fruit here)

Steps:

  • Melt the 2 chocolates in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Or if you wish, microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave 30 more seconds. Stir till smooth.).
  • Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a 9 x 10-inch rectangle on the paper. Turn the paper facedown on the baking sheet.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the paper and spread to form a rectangle, using the outline. Sprinkle the cashews, apricots and cranberries over the chocolate. Press down lightly to set them into the chocolate.Set aside for 2 hours until firm. Cut the bark in 1 x 3-inch pieces and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
