candy - Sweet and Salty Chocolate Bark

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. (454 g) dark chocolate;
  • 1 cup whole pecans;
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries, chopped;
  • Sea salt to taste (optional);

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Place the pecans on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. They’re done when they start to smell good: take them out, and crush them with your hands or cut into chunks with a knife.

Chop the chocolate into pieces.

Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or directly in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly.

Pour  the melted chocolate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spread it around with a spatula.

Sprinkle some sea salt evenly over the chocolate to taste.

Sprinkle the chopped pecans and chopped cherries evenly on top of the chocolate; you can apply some pressure to make sure they stick to the chocolate.

Wait until the chocolate has cooled down, break into pieces, and serve.
