Salty roasted pistachios, crunchy toasted pecans, tart cherries, sweet raisins, smooth creamy dark chocolate and crunchy flakes of fleur de sel make this Holiday Bark irresistible! It makes the perfect gift or just healthy holiday sweet treat!
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to secure it with binder clips so that it won’t slide around.
In a medium heat proof bowl place about ¼ of the chopped chocolate. Melt on high in 20 second intervals until mostly melted. Watch it like a hawk.
Stir another ¼ of the chopped chocolate into the melted chocolate and microwave until almost melted again. Repeat until all the chocolate has been added and the chocolate is smooth and lump free!
Pour the hot chocolate onto the parchment lined baking sheet and spread out to about a ¼ inch thick with an offset spatula. Immediately sprinkle your toppings over the surface, trying to get a little something of everything all over! I sprinkle on the fleur de sel last so that the chocolate has cooled a little bit and it won’t all immediately melt!
Refrigerate for at least an hour until set. Cut or break apart. You can place them in small cello bags and tie them with ribbons for gifts or you can keep them all for yourself! No judgement from me! I store mine in the refrigerator but you don’t have to.
Notes
Yield: 24 pieces of bark*Toast whole Pecans on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer for 10 minutes in a preheated 350° oven, or until you can smell them and the light parts of the pecans have turned a light golden brown. Pre-chopped pecans will toast faster!I stored mine in the refrigerator but you could store yours in a cool place.
