Description

This Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark is a deliciously simple treat that combines creamy milk chocolate with the bold flavors of white and dark chocolate drizzles, topped with a mix of raisins, dried apricots, sliced almonds, and chopped pecans. Perfect for a sweet snack or a homemade gift, this no-bake recipe requires minimal prep and can be ready in under 20 minutes plus chilling time.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate

  • 12 ounces milk chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons raisins
  • 2 tablespoons dried apricots, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out all the chocolate varieties and toppings to have them ready for melting and garnishing.
  2. Line Baking Sheet: Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the chocolate bark.
  3. Melt Chocolates: Melt the milk chocolate using a double boiler method by placing a heat-resistant bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Melt the white and dark chocolate chips separately in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
  4. Spread Milk Chocolate: Using a spatula, spread the melted milk chocolate evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding corners for even thickness.
  5. Drizzle White and Dark Chocolates: Alternate drizzling the melted white and dark chocolates over the milk chocolate layer using small spoons to create a visually appealing marbled effect.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the raisins, chopped dried apricots, sliced almonds, and chopped pecans evenly over the chocolate layer while it is still warm to ensure they stick as the chocolate sets.
  7. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least one hour to allow the chocolate to harden fully.
  8. Break Into Pieces: Once set, use your hands to break the bark into various sizes for serving or storage.
  9. Store Properly: Keep the chocolate bark in the refrigerator or a cool area to prevent melting until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overheat chocolate when melting, as it can seize or burn.
  • Customize with your favorite nuts or dried fruits.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent absorption of fridge odors.
  • This recipe is great for gifting during holidays or special occasions.
