Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz dark chocolate/bittersweet morsels 62-75% cocao
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil unrefined, virgin
  • ¼ cup roasted almonds chopped or sliced
  • ⅛ cup chia seeds
  • ⅛ cup hemp seeds
  • ¼ cup pomegranate arils
  • ¼ cup dried Turkish apricots chopped
  • ¼ cup Tollhouse espresso morsels chopped

Instructions
 

  • Gather and prepare all the toppings for the bark. Set aside for now
  • Melt chocolate using the double boiler method- Place about 2 inches of water in saucepan and nest heat safe bowl over top. Water should not touch the bottom of bowl at any point. You want to use steam from boiling water to gently melt the chocolate. Not scorch it.
  • Add chocolate morsels and 1 tbsp of coconut oil to bowl and over low-medium heat, bring water to simmer.
  • Using rubber spatula, stir frequently until chocolate is completely melted.
  • Pour onto baking sheet lined with rubber silpat or parchment paper and use spatula to spread into a thin even layer. Don't worry if edges aren't perfect, it won't matter in the end. You want to work with a little urgency so the melted chocolate doesn't start to harden before toppings are applied.
  • Scatter the toppings on the melted chocolate.
  • Let chocolate cool in fridge for at least 2 hours before breaking. If you are leaving on counter to harden, try to take to a room between 60-65° and let sit for 6 hours before touching.
  • When chocolate is ready, peel off silpat or parchment paper and break into desired size pieces.
  • Keep in airtight container in cool place, storing in the fridge can cause condensation on the chocolate.
