Salted Chocolate Almond Butter Bark

Indulge in the ultimate holiday treat with our Salted Chocolate Almond Butter Bark – a delightful marriage of rich chocolate, creamy almond butter, and the perfect touch of salt. Whether you’re filling holiday cookie gift boxes or adding it to your weekly dessert rotation, this bark is the sweet and salty star that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

This salted chocolate freezer bark is a favorite of mine. I’ll play with the recipe, but this basic version is always a hit. It takes 10 minutes to whip up and can provide you with months of tasty sweet freezer treats.

Though the creamy-salty-sweet flavor (made possible by the almond butter, sea salt, and dark chocolate) of this salted chocolate freezer bark is my go-to, you can absolutely play around with other flavors. May I suggest a generous sprinkle of your favorite chopped nuts, dehydrated fruit, and even chopped bacon? You really can’t go wrong.

This recipe is really similar to our dark chocolate bark with strawberries and pretzels and chocolate graham cracker bark recipes, so if you love it, it’s worth giving those two a try too! If you’re looking for a recipe that’s slightly more involved but equally as delicious, check out our magic cookie bar recipe.

How to Make Chocolate Almond Butter Freezer Bark

Ready to make the easiest recipe ever? Follow along below for the full step-by-step.

Step 1: Using either a double-boiler or 3-5, 30-second spells in the microwave, slowly melt the chocolate. It’s important that you stir constantly with a rubber spatula and remove from heat as soon as all of the solid pieces are gone. Once melted, stir the vanilla into the chocolate.

Step 2: Pour the melted chocolate in the middle of a large square of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Using your spatula, carefully spread the chocolate out into a 1/4-inch-thick layer.

Step 3: If your almond butter isn’t already runny or smooth, heat it up just a bit. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of almond butter over the chocolate.

Step 4: Using a fork, make sweeps through the almond butter and chocolate to create the marbled look. Sprinkle with half the sea salt and then transfer the sheet to the freezer to set for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 5: Remove from the freezer when it’s completely hardened. Using either a knife or your hands, break the bark into pieces. Sprinkle with the remaining sea salt and transfer to a freezer-safe jar for enjoyment months to come!
