Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams roasted hazelnuts
- 100 grams pistachios
Supporting Ingredients:
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Toast 100g hazelnuts at 350°F (180°C) for precisely 10 minutes, creating a deep, rich aroma in your kitchen.
- Remove hazelnuts and crush them alongside 100g pistachios into rustic, uneven chunks using a sharp knife.
- Select 200g high-quality dark chocolate and melt it smoothly in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each interval until completely liquid.
- Fold the crushed nuts gently into the warm chocolate, ensuring every piece gets thoroughly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the chocolate-nut mixture, spreading it evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Sprinkle sea salt across the surface, letting the crystals catch the light and add a perfect savory contrast.
- Allow the bark to set at room temperature for 45-60 minutes, or speed up the process by chilling in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Once completely hardened, crack the bark into irregular, artisan-style pieces using your hands.
Notes
- Roasting nuts deeply enhances their flavor, so take care not to burn them during the 10-minute process.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for super easy chocolate bark removal and clean-up.
- Chop nuts roughly to maintain some texture and create interesting crunch in your bark.
- Tempering chocolate slowly helps create a smooth, glossy finish that looks professional and prevents a chalky appearance.
