Instructions

Melt the Dark Chocolate: Start by breaking the dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melting them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved, and mix in any optional ingredients you have chosen, such as nuts or dried fruit.
Pour and Spread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the melted chocolate mixture onto it, spreading it evenly to your desired thickness.
Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle a generous pinch of sea salt over the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
Chill the Bark: Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate has completely hardened. Once set, break into pieces.

Notes

Choose Good Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the more delicious your bark will be.
Don’t Overheat: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning.
Experiment with Thickness: Thinner bark will be crispier, while thicker pieces will be chewier.
Keep It Cool: Store your bark in a cool, dry place to prevent it from melting.
Opt for Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh nuts and dried fruit enhances the overall taste experience.
