Salted Chocolate Almond Butter Bark
This salted chocolate freezer bark is smooth, creamy, balanced with the perfect hint of salt, plus it is easy to put together and totally customizable to your tastes!
Servings: 12 - 15 servings
Ingredients
- 9 - 10 ounces dairy-free chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons almond butter, may sub sunbutter for a nut-free option
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, divided
Instructions
- 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.
- Pour the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate. Be sure to stir until it's completely incorporated.
- Pour the melted chocolate in the middle of a large square of unbleached parchment paper on a baking sheet. Using your spatula, carefully spread the chocolate out into a ¼-inch-thick layer.
- 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. Using a dinner 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.
- 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!
Notes
- Add nuts - chopped nuts would make for a delicious addition to this bark. Just sprinkle them on top before popping the tray into the freezer!
- Add dried cranberries - dried fruit would also be a delicious addition here! As with the nuts, sprinkle the cranberries on top of the bark, then stick the tray into the freezer.
- Make it nut-free - use Sunbutter instead of a nut butter here to make this bark totally nut-free.
