Who doesn’t love dark chocolate and nuts? Sweet and salty is one of the best flavor combinations and this dark chocolate bark is the perfect snack option. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also full of antioxidants. You can even modify the recipe if you prefer your dark chocolate with dried fruit or other nuts. This recipe makes eight delicious barks.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (32 g) raw shelled pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons raw shelled sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons raw hemp seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content, chopped
Instructions:
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the pumpkin seeds. Toast, by gently shaking the skillet constantly until the seeds start to pop and become less fragrant (for about one minute). Transfer the seeds to a small bowl.
- Do the same toasting process with the sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and hemp seeds. Make sure you toast all of the seeds separately. The sesame and hemp seeds will take around 45 seconds.
- Add all the toasted seeds to one bowl and mix them together. Season them with salt.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate has melted.
- Pour the chocolate into the prepared pan, shaking and tapping the pan to evenly spread it.
- Sprinkle the seeds over the chocolate and allow it to stand at room temperature for up to two hours to set.
- Break the chocolate into 8 pieces and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
