Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate chips
- 200 grams white chocolate chips
- 100 grams crushed peppermint candies
- 100 grams pretzel pieces
- 75 grams toasted almonds
- 75 grams dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Directions
Step 1
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring often, until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper and spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick using a spatula.
Step 4
Melt the white chocolate chips following the same method. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer in a zig-zag pattern or random streaks.
Step 5
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies, pretzel pieces, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries evenly over the chocolate layers while they are still wet.
Step 6
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate with the back of a spoon to ensure they stick.
Step 7
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes lightly over the bark for a finishing touch.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 9
Once set, break the bark into uneven pieces using your hands or a knife.
Step 10
Store the Winter Crunch Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
