Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade dark chocolate bark featuring crunchy almonds and a subtle pop of pink Himalayan salt, perfect for gifting or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) good-quality dark chocolate, chopped or in chips
  • 1 cup (140 g) whole almonds, raw or roasted
  • 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, coarse or flaky
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional garnish: a few extra whole almonds and a pinch of pink salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Optional: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces if using a bar.
  4. Set up a double boiler by simmering a pot of water and placing a heatproof bowl on top, making sure it doesn’t touch the water. Stir the chocolate gently until melted and silky smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
  6. Fold the cooled almonds into the melted chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Pour the chocolate and almond mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness.
  8. Generously scatter pink Himalayan salt crystals over the top while the chocolate is still warm.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
  10. Remove the bark from the fridge, peel off the parchment, and break into rustic pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao for best flavor. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Melt chocolate gently to prevent dull or streaky finish. Chilling the bark fully ensures a perfect snap. Optional to temper chocolate for shiny finish but not necessary. Variations include swapping nuts or adding dried fruits and spices.
