EASY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE NUT BARK

Steps:

• Line an 8" pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt dark chocolate: Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place a steel pot on top (use a double boiler if you've got one). Add uniformly chopped pieces of chocolate or chocolate chips (8 oz) to the pot and stir with rubber spatula. You are trying to melt the chocolate and not burn it. You don't want the boiling water to touch the second pot that's sitting on top of it or it will curdle. Keep stirring at a low heat until it's melted.
• Don't let any water get in contact with the chocolate or it will become unworkable.
• Melt slowly over low heat while stirring gently (if the heat is too high it will become lumpy)
• Pour chocolate into lined pan, sheet pan, or baking dish and lightly shake the pan (or use a spatula) to make the chocolate an even thickness. Add nuts and sprinkle sea salt over the top. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Serve with Mixed Berry Gazpacho and Fresh Whipped Cream or Ice Cream. Happy Chocolate Eating! Beckie
