This Dark Chocolate Walnut Bark is the perfect balance of intense cocoa flavor and crunchy nuttiness. The simplicity of this recipe is its greatest strength, requiring only high-quality dark chocolate and fresh walnuts.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate bars into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
  3. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the walnut pieces evenly over the warm chocolate, pressing them down slightly so they adhere.
  7. Refrigerate the bark for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator and break the chocolate into irregular shards by hand.
