Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate (chopped or in chips)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup pecans (toasted and roughly chopped)
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly before chopping.
Step 3
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dried cranberries, chopped toasted pecans, and sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate while it is still warm.
Step 6
Lightly press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere as it cools.
Step 7
Let the bark sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or until fully set. If you need to speed up the process, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Step 8
Once the chocolate is firm, break the bark into bite-sized pieces and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
