Last night I was cleaning out the fridge/freezer/pantry (party) and started making a bunch of random things to use up odds and ends to help the organization process along.

I whipped up some dark chocolate hazelnut bark with sea salt and was SUPER thrilled with the result. Chocolate + nuts + salt = my favorite. So obviously, I was into this.

It was a spontaneous creation, but so good, and so simple, I decided to snap some phone pics today to put it on the blog in case anyone needs some #inspo for an easy yet impressive homemade chocolate treat.

This is basically a no-recipe recipe. You can use whatever nuts you fancy. Or you can add in some chopped figs/dates if you like. You really can’t mess it up.

No matter what you add, you’ll end up with delicious, rich, chocolate bark. It’s impressive to put on a plate at gatherings (so long as you keep it elevated if you have doggos) and/or bring to a party or dinner. It also takes minimal effort and is perfect for using up odds and ends in your baking pantry.

I hope you make this bark and I hope you love it. Let me know if you do! Tag or DM me on Insta (@katherinebaker4) or leave a comment below.

Peace, love, and salty nutty chocolate!

Easy Chocolate Hazelnut Bark with Sea Salt

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Freezer Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 1-4, depending on how much you like chocolate

Ingredients:

2 cups chopped dark chocolate (or one bag dark chocolate chips) – I used Dark Chocolate Lover’s bar from Trader Joe’s

1 1/2 cups toasted or raw (based on your flavor preference, I used raw) whole or chopped hazelnuts, plus additional handful chopped for topping (about 1 3/4 cup total)

1-2 tablespoon flakey sea salt

Method:

Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl using medium-high heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment until melted. This will take about 90-180 seconds, depending on your microwave. Stir in 1 1/2 cup hazelnuts. Chop additional handful for garnish and set aside. Spread mixture over prepared baking pan. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts and sea salt over the top of the hazelnut bark. Place bark in freezer for at least 20 minutes or refrigerator for 60 minutes to set. Break bark into rough pieces with hands. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
