Thin layer of toasted sliced almonds, coated in creamy dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt flakes. Crunchy, creamy, sweet, salty. All the good things.
I recently purchased these dark chocolate bark thins at Target and I discovered very quickly how much I loved the chocolate, almond, sea salt combo. They were so addicting! I also liked that I could just grab a couple pieces out of the bag whenever I had a chocolate craving.
As convenient as it may be to buy them at the store, those chocolate bark thins are a little pricey. I knew they couldn’t be difficult to make. Only a few ingredients. Chocolate, sliced almonds and sea salt. Easy-peasy.
I used semi-sweet chocolate chips {Guittard chocolate, the good stuff}, but you could really use any of your favorite dairy free chocolate. I also used already toasted sliced almonds from Trader Joe’s. I love to use them in salads, on top of smoothie bowls and in this quick chocolate almond bark. You can also toast your own sliced almonds. It only takes a few minutes.
The chocolate-almond mixture is spread into a thin layer onto a baking sheet. I like it extra thin, but you can make it as thin or thick as you like. Lastly, a sprinkling of sea salt flakes. Totally enhances the flavor of the chocolate and makes this chocolate almond bark completely addicting. Then it’s broken into perfectly imperfect pieces to enjoy.
A sweet, salty, crunchy, chocolatey treat. This sea salt chocolate almond bark would make a delicious gift for a friend or you could just store it in your fridge and keep it all to yourself. No judgement.
