Chocolate Bark with Dried Fruit & Nuts

It couldn’t be easier to melt chocolate in the microwave and shower it with chewy dried fruit and crunchy nuts and seeds. Perfect for parties, gifts, or nibbling on your own, it makes a sweet snack. 

What You Get

Semisweet chocolate baking wafers 

Dried berry blend 

Toasted pistachios 

Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) 

What You’ll Need

Salt 

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Active Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 3 hours 

Step 1

Line a sheet pan with parchment. 

Step 2

Place 9 ounces of the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave, stirring with a rubber spatula every 30 seconds, until just melted. Stir 3 ounces of chocolate wafers into the melted chocolate, a few at a time, until glossy and smooth. 

Step 3

Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared pan and spread it into an evenly thin layer, stopping an inch before the edge of the parchment. (If you have a small off-set spatula, now’s the time to bust it out.) Scatter about ⅓ cup dried berries, 3 tablespoons pistachios, 3 tablespoons pepitas, and a couple of pinches of salt over the melted chocolate. Let rest at room temperature until set, 2½ to 3 hours.

Step 4

Break the bark into pieces and serve. Transfer any leftover bark to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
