Super Salty Salted Almond Chocolate Bark

This DIY salted almond chocolate bark recipe is easy to customize with whatever nuts you have on hand. The flaked salt is key! It also makes a perfect homemade gift. 

Salted Almond Chocolate Bark

I loooooove any kind of salty sweet combo. Salted Caramel ice cream is one of my top flavor choices, and when I am shopping for chocolate bars I always look for the salted almond/hazelnut/caramel blends. Thomas loves a little something sweet after dinner and the salted almond dark chocolate bars we’ve been buying are costing us a fortune per ounce, so I decided to surprise him with a batch of homemade chocolate bark. Of course, I’ve been consuming my share too ; )

This bark is, as the title suggests, on the salty side. You can adjust the recipe to your taste! It’s also super simple to make. I used the microwave for minimal time, but you can also use a double boiler.

Begin by roasting your almonds in the toaster or conventional oven. Do not take your eye off of them! When they are lightly brown and fragrant, remove from the heat and chop.

Meanwhile, combine coconut oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high in 30 second intervals until fully melted. Mine took three rounds to get there.

Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper and pour the chocolate on top, forming the general shape of a square. You want the bark to be thin, but not so thin that it can’t hold an almond. Think about the thickness of a fruit leather.

Sprinkle over the almonds — I used about 1/3 cup.

Then the salt! I used this nice Carolina Flake Salt for ultimate texture.

Don’t try this with table salt — you need something flakey.

Put the whole pan into the freezer for 30 minutes, until hardened.

Don’t forget to lick the bowl! No chocolate left behind.

Once chilled, remove it and let come to room temp for a few minutes before moving the parchment to a cutting board and cutting into the shape of your choice.

I cut mine into big and small pieces so that I have more options when the chocolate craving hits : )

    I LOVE buying salted chocolate bars. But you’re so right then can easily break the bank. Lately on Monday I’ve been trying to make a healthy dessert that will hopefully last for the entire week. These are definitely on that list!

    This looks delish! I would toss the almonds in a tiny bit of caramel sauce before putting on top of the chocolate. Not sure if that would make the nuts sink into the chocolate but it’d be worth to try. I have a caramel addiction 😉

    Do you make your own Caesar dressing,or is there a brand you recommend?

    A good tip people might not know about melting chocolate in the microwave is that it holds it’s shape, so it won;t look melted and if you don’t stir you can burn the heck out of it.

      I’ve been using the Cindy’s Kitchen dressings from Whole Foods. They are awesome!

    Salt on chocolate is a MUST. I just had it over chocolate chip cookies and they were sooo addicting.

    There’s something about the combination of salt in chocolate that brings out the flavour in everything else. 🙂
