You only need three pantry staples to whip up this crowd-pleasing 3-Ingredient Chocolate Bark—semi-sweet chocolate, crunchy nuts, and flaky sea salt. It’s a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and nutty goodness, made in one bowl with just 10 minutes of prep. Whether you need a last-minute dessert, a cozy afternoon snack, or a holiday gift, this bark delivers.
This recipe is endlessly customizable. You can mix and match your favorite nuts—or even toss in crushed pretzels, dried fruit, or coconut flakes. Best of all, it looks like something from a gourmet shop but takes hardly any effort.
Fun fact: Chocolate bark was inspired by French mendiants—chocolate disks topped with nuts and fruit for special occasions. This modern version captures that same elegance and charm in every bite. Plus, it pairs beautifully with coffee or tea, making it perfect for sharing.
So grab your chocolate and let’s make something sweet, simple, and unforgettable!
Recipe Yield: 10–12 pieces
INGREDIENTS
10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
½ cup chopped mixed nuts (like almonds, pecans, pistachios)
½ tsp flaky sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prep the pan:
Line a small baking sheet (around 8×8 inches) with parchment paper. This keeps the bark from sticking and ensures easy cleanup.
2. Melt the chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. You can also melt it using a double boiler for even results.
3. Spread and top:
Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly. Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts chaotically across the surface, then finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
4. Chill and slice:
Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or until firm. Once set, slice or break into rustic pieces.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Choose Quality Semi-Sweet Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the bark. Use baking bars or premium chips for the smoothest melt and best flavor.
- Spread Nuts Freely: Don’t worry about perfect placement—scattered nuts give the bark texture and a rustic, artisanal look.
- Add a Warm Touch: Serve with coffee for a cozy pairing or wrap pieces in parchment as a sweet gift idea.
