Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate

  • 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 3 tablespoons diced candied orange peel

Instructions

  1. Prepare the surface: Line a baking sheet with wax paper to ensure the chocolate bark can be easily removed once set.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is mostly melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully smooth and melted, avoiding overheating.
  3. Spread the chocolate: Pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet into an approximately 8×10 inch rectangle.
  4. Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and diced candied orange peel evenly across the melted chocolate before it begins to set, ensuring they stick well.
  5. Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens completely.
  6. Break and store: Once set, break the bark into pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave to prevent burning or seizing.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate to suit your taste preferences.
  • Ensure pomegranate seeds are dry to avoid moisture causing chocolate bloom.
  • Store the bark away from heat and sunlight to maintain its texture and flavor.
  • This recipe is great for holiday gifting and can be customized with other dried fruits or nuts.
