Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is completely flat and smooth to create an even chocolate layer.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water directly.
- Add dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir gently using a silicone spatula, allowing the chocolate to melt slowly and evenly. Remove from heat when chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, using the spatula to spread it into a thin, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Immediately sprinkle dried blueberries across the melted chocolate, distributing them evenly to ensure each piece will have a good balance of flavors.
- Scatter chopped nuts over the chocolate and blueberry layer, pressing them gently into the surface to help them adhere.
- Lightly dust the entire surface with sea salt, which will enhance the chocolate's richness and provide a subtle flavor contrast.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
- Remove from refrigerator and break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
- Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
