Begin by preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleaning up easier.
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the almonds and pistachios if they are not pre-chopped. Ensure all your toppings are ready for quick addition once the chocolate is melted.
Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer, about 5 mm thick, for optimal texture and shape.
While the chocolate is still warm, evenly sprinkle the raw almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and pistachios over the top.
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate to ensure they adhere properly.
Finish by sprinkling the Himalayan pink salt evenly over the mixture to enhance flavors and add a gourmet touch.
Allow the chocolate bark to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or speed up the process by chilling it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes until fully set.
Once the bark is set, break it into uneven, bite-size pieces for an artisanal and rustic appearance.
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for a slightly longer shelf life.
