    This easier-than-sin chocolate almond bark looks like it came right out of a gourmet candy shop. Made with rich dark chocolate and roasted almonds, then topped with either a Maldon sea salt or a Pinot Noir craft salt.

    Dark chocolate with roasted almonds and Maldon sea salt - for a nutty, crunchy, rich, and salty bite of deliciousness.

    Chocolate almond bark is one of my favorite snacks. It's surprisingly decadent but has very little sugar so you can enjoy this delicious snack completely guilt-free.

    This homemade chocolate almond bark is next level.

    No one will ever believe that you whipped it up in 5 minutes flat! You don't need to tell anyone that you made this in the Microwave. - MIND BLOWN!

    Ingredients in Chocolate Almond Bark

    The combination of salt, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate make a rich and delicious almond bark that is so fantastic.

    1. Chocolate: The best chocolate you can find and afford. My favorite is Guittard.
    2. Almonds: Roasted and unsalted almonds.
    3. Craft Salt: Here I've used Maldon salt and a pinot noir craft salt.

    Nobody can keep their hands off this dark chocolate almond bark – finished with pinot noir craft salt.

    Step 1: Melt the chocolate.

    Step 2: Stir in the nuts.

    Step 3: Pour onto a Silpat.

    Step 4: Add a little salt and chill.

    FAQs and Expert Tips

    You can also make this as chocolate almond clusters if you use a cookie scoop or any other scooping device.

    Varieties Of Chocolate Bark

    1. Roasted almonds and dried cherries
    2. Dried candied ginger and a few drops of orange extract
    3. Pistachios and dried blueberries
    4. Almonds and coconut flakes
    5. Peanuts and dried raspberries
    6. Crushed honeycomb or butter toffee and roasted almonds

    You can also swap out dark chocolate for other kinds of chocolate.

    Maybe you're a milk chocolate person - use that instead. Add a layer of peppermint-scented white chocolate for a peppermint bark twist.

    This recipe is also a great way to get kids into the kitchen. Have them mix up a batch with their favorite candies inside. There is nothing like a big mouthful of chocolate-covered gummy worms to light up a kid's day.
