3 Ingredient Chocolate Almond Bark

Chocolate almond bark is an easy, 3-ingredient homemade candy treat made from melted dark chocolate and topped with chopped roasted almonds. Classic almond bark is made of pure dessert dark chocolate, often with more than 60% cocoa.

Ingredients and Substitutions

This healthy almond bark recipe is made with only 3 main ingredients. All you need are:

Dark Chocolate – I used high-quality dessert chocolate – Lindt 70% cocoa is vegan dark chocolate. The quality of the chocolate matters for making delicious chocolate barks. Don’t be tempted to use chocolate chips that are more suitable for baking than eating. Roasted Almonds – you can use skinless almonds or almonds with their skin on – my favorite option for a more old-fashioned bark recipe. I also bought ready-made roasted almonds, but below, I will provide an option for roasting almonds if you need to. Pinch of Sea Salt – just because salt and chocolate are made to be together. Salt actually enhances the cocoa flavor of your bark, a must-try for chocolate lovers!

ExtraToppings

Extra toppings you can add to your chocolate bars are 1-2 tablespoons of:

Sprinkles Chopped dried cranberries Coconut flakes

How To Make Chocolate Almond Bark

Chocolate bark recipes are some of the all-time holiday favorite desserts because they are so simple to make, and everyone loves them. Whether you are a kid or an adult, you can’t resist a chocolate bark.

How To Cut Chocolate Bark

Now that the chocolate almond bark is ready to eat time to cut it! The bark should be cut by hand into rough, unequal shapes. It’s not something you cut into perfect rectangles, and actually, you can’t! You can try using a knife to make a more regular rectangle bark, but since the chocolate bark is as hard as pure chocolate tab – there’ shouldn’t have any oil or milk added to your bark. Then, each cut comes out into uneven, patchy chocolate pieces.

Storage Instructions

Chocolate bark stores very well at room temperature for up to 1 month. I recommend storing the bark in an airtight glass jar or Ziploc bags. Chocolate almond bark is often used as a homemade Christmas gift. To offer this chocolate bark in a beautiful way, tight a knot with a Christmas color string around the stack of chocolate pieces. Then, place it in a small bowl to offer to friends and family. You can refrigerate the chocolate if it’s hot where you live.
