Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 75 grams dried cranberries
- 75 grams roasted unsalted cashews
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method: place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and glossy.
Step 4
Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
Step 5
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer approximately 1/4-inch thick using a spatula.
Step 6
Sprinkle the dried cranberries and roasted cashews evenly over the surface of the melted chocolate.
Step 7
For a sweet and salty contrast, lightly sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate (optional).
Step 8
Allow the chocolate bark to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 9
Once fully hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Step 10
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
