Chocolate Bark

The best part about chocolate bark is it’s typically just a handful of ingredients.

The contrast of the bittersweet chocolate, extra sweet white chocolate, nuttiness of the pistachios, chewy apricots, and flaky salt makes it feel much more special than a standard chocolate bark.

No oven required & it’s beautiful for gifting!

Ingredients

Dark chocolate creates the rich base of the bark, while white chocolate adds sweetness and a beautiful marbled finish. Pistachios bring buttery crunch, dried apricots add bright bursts of chewy fruit, and a sprinkle of flaky salt ties everything together by balancing the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use milk chocolate instead?

Absolutely! Milk chocolate will make the bark sweeter, while dark chocolate provides a richer flavor.

Do I have to temper the chocolate?

No. Refrigerating the bark works perfectly for an easy homemade version. If you’d like a shinier finish that stays firm at room temperature, you can temper the chocolate first.

Can I use other dried fruit?

Yes. Dried cherries, cranberries, or even golden raisins would all work well.
