Main Ingredients
- 8.8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate)
- 3/4 cup pistachio nuts (2.6 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to get ready for the chocolate layer.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of just simmering water (double boiler method) or melt it in the microwave in 10 second increments, stirring between each until smooth.
- Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness or thicker if preferred.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the fresh pomegranate seeds and pistachio nuts evenly over the surface and gently press them into the warm chocolate to secure.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Break Into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into pieces by hand or cut it with a knife into approximately 15 pieces.
- Store: Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep it fresh.
