Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate baking wafers
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted, salted pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the chocolate doesn’t stick and has a clean surface to set on.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate wafers in a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a pan of rapidly boiling water, creating a double boiler effect. Stir the chocolate frequently until it is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Spread the chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it evenly to a thickness of about 1/8 inch for the perfect bark texture.
  4. Add the pistachios: Sprinkle the chopped roasted and salted pistachios evenly over the surface of the melted chocolate, pressing slightly to help them adhere.
  5. Set the bark: Leave the baking sheet in a cool place to allow the chocolate to harden completely, which will take about 2 hours.
  6. Serve: Once hardened, break the chocolate bark into rough, rustic pieces and enjoy your crunchy, nutty treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the dark chocolate wafers with dark chocolate chips or any good quality dark chocolate bars chopped into pieces.
  • For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of dried fruit like cranberries along with pistachios.
  • Store leftover bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • If your environment is warm, refrigerate the bark after spreading to speed up the setting process.
