Cherry Chocolate Bark
Servings: 8
This 4-ingredient Cherry Chocolate Bark recipe is so easy to make and customize to create your own signature version to enjoy with family and friends this holiday season.
Equipment
- stove top
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips vegan
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup dried tart cherries
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and place in the fridge or freezer to chill.
- In a heatproof glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let any water get into the bowl or the chocolate will seize.
- Remove the bowl from the heat when some pieces of unmelted chocolate still remain. Stir well until the remaining chocolate melts, but do not stir too vigorously or air bubbles will form.
- Pour melted chocolate onto the chilled, parchment lined pan and use a thin spatula to spread it out evenly, almost to the edges. Immediately sprinkle the almonds and cherries over the chocolate, evenly covering it. Then sprinkle the salt.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
- Break bark into pieces to serve. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Notes
- This can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
- Feel free to use whatever toppings you want over the melted chocolate. Here are a few combos you can try:
- 1 layer of dark chocolate, 1 layer of white chocolate, crushed candy canes
- Semi-sweet chocolate, crunched pretzels, peanuts
- Dark chocolate + crunched potato chips
- Dark chocolate + semi sweet chocolate swirled together with dried blueberries and hazelnuts
- Go wild and chop up your fav candy bars into the melted chocolate for a Snickers or Peanut Butter Cups bark that will be gone in minutes.
- This can be added to a cookie tray, just let the person you are giving it to know that it is best stored in the fridge.
