Chocolate bark is a lovely and festive holiday treat! This was my first batch and it was easy to make and as delicious as it looks. I used crushed pistachios and pecans, dried cherries, toasted coconut and sea salt to top melted dark chocolate – make this for an easy dessert, hostess gift or party favor! 🙂

Ingredients

• 5 oz dark chocolate (e.g. 65-70% cacao), roughly chopped
• 2 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• Parchment paper
• 3 Tbsp crushed pistachios
• 3 Tbsp crushed pecans
• 3 Tbsp toasted coconut flakes
• 3 Tbsp dried cherries, chopped
• 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

Directions

• Top with nuts, coconut flakes, cherries and salt
• Freeze until set, about 3 hours
