Happy National White Chocolate Day! I figured there was no better way to celebrate an obscure food holiday than to whip up a seasonal take on one of my favorite easy desserts, chocolate bark. This make-ahead confection can be loaded with your choice of dr
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- Pinch of salt
- 12 oz. white chocolate (Recommended: Valrhona)
- 1/4 teaspoon Allspice
- 3/4 cup pitted, dried tart cherries
Instructions
- Toast the pumpkin seeds by placing them in a pan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning (be careful as the seeds may crackle as they heat).
- Remove the toasted seeds, toss them with the salt and and set them aside to cool.
- Make a double boiler by first boiling a large pot of water.
- Break the chocolate bar into pieces then add the pieces to a smaller pot. Hold the smaller pot over the boiling water to melt the chocolate, careful not to let any water leak into the smaller pot.
- Stir the chocolate continuously until it is smooth. Add the Allspice and mix until well incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
- Use a rubber spatula to spread the chocolate out until it is roughly 1/4" thick.
- Immediately top with the toasted pumpkin seeds and dried cherries.
- Let the bark harden in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry place for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Cut or break the chocolate bark into pieces and enjoy!
- * Helpful Hint: Store any leftover bark in the fridge to ensure that it stays firm.
