Vibrant, delicious, takes less than an hour to make...this treat makes a perfect gift for the holidays. (This recipe requires an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the melted chocolate.)
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. dry-roasted, salted pistachios
- 3/4 c. coarsely chopped sweetened, dried tart cherries
- 1/2 c. Toasted pumpkin seeds
- 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate (at least 64 percent cacao)
Instructions
- Line an 11" x 17" baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine pistachios, dried cherries, and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Set aside 1/2 cup of mixture.
- To temper chocolate: Using a microwave, place 3/4 of chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl (set aside remaining chocolate). Program microwave at 50 percent power. With bowl uncovered, heat chocolate for 30 seconds and then stir with a rubber spatula. Repeat, heating for 30 seconds and then stirring, until almost all the chocolate in the bowl is melted, about 4 minutes total.
- Using an instant-read thermometer, check temperature of chocolate. It should be no more than 115 degrees. If it hasn't reached desired temperature, continue to heat (in 10-second increments). Then add reserved chocolate and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth and thermometer reads 88 degrees to 90 degrees. Chocolate is now tempered.
- Stir nut mixture into bowl containing chocolate.
- Using an offset spatula, spread chocolate in an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick, on the parchment. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup nut mixture. Allow bark to cool until hard, at least 20 minutes. Break into irregular pieces.
- Wrap in gift boxes or airtight tins lined with decorative waxed paper, or place in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon. Chocolate bark will last several weeks.
