Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Rubber spatula
  • Instant read thermometer
  • 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 300 g semi-sweet chocolate 54% cocoa
  • 60 g roasted hazelnuts crushed
  • 40 g dried cranberries
  • 10 g roasted almond flakes

Instructions

  • Line an 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan with parchment paper.
  • To a heat-proof bowl, add 200g of the chocolate. Place it over a pot with slightly simmering water (double-boiler method). The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
  • Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula while it’s melting. When the chocolate is at 113- 122F (45-50C), remove the bowl onto a kitchen towel.
  • Add the rest of the chocolate (100g) and stir until it’s melted and the mixture has cooled down to 88F (31C).
  • Add ⅔ of the hazelnuts as well as ⅔ of the cranberries and mix until fully coated with the chocolate.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly using the spatula.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the nuts and cranberries on top. Additionally, sprinkle on roasted almond flakes.
  • Leave it to set at room temperature. Then, break into pieces or cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Store your chocolate bark in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
