Ingredients

You will need:
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% or higher works best)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup macadamias, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp dried goji berries
How to Make Dark Chocolate Bark
- Line a tray. Line a small baking tray with baking paper.
- Melt the chocolate. In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (double boiler method), melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Stir gently until smooth.
- Spread and top. Pour the melted chocolate onto the tray and spread to about 5mm thick. Sprinkle over the macadamias, pistachios and goji berries.
- Chill to set. Place the tray in the fridge or freezer until firm. Once set, break into shards and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Tips & Variations
- Swap goji berries for dried cranberries, cherries, or freeze-dried raspberries/strawberries.
- Switch out macadamias for walnuts, pecans or almonds – roughly chop so they distribute evenly.
- Add a pinch of flaky sea salt or a dusting of edible gold for an extra special touch.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, depending on your chocolate – always double check labels if making for someone with allergies.
