Dark Chocolate Bark
This Dark Chocolate Bark is a simple, customizable treat made with melted dark chocolate and a mix of crunchy, chewy toppings like nuts, seeds, coconut, and dried fruit.

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with a few inches of simmering water (double boiler). Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer about ¼-inch thick.
- Sprinkle evenly with dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, coconut chips, pecans, pistachios, and pomegranate seeds. Gently press toppings into the chocolate.

- Break into pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Nutrition
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate: Higher cocoa content melts more smoothly and gives the bark a better snap once set.
- Melt gently: Use low heat and stir often to prevent the chocolate from seizing or scorching.
- Press toppings lightly: Gently press the nuts, seeds, and fruit into the melted chocolate so they stick once chilled.
- Chill until fully set: Let the bark firm up completely before breaking to get clean, crisp pieces.
- Serving Suggestions: Break into pieces and serve as a dessert snack, add to holiday treat trays, or pair with Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Blossoms or Maple Pecan Pie Bars for a simple sweet spread.
