Salted Chocolate Smoked Almond Bark Recipe

Long list of ingredients:

8 oz. Nestle Dark Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into pieces (OR your favorite dark chocolate--not too bittersweet because you want some sweetness to balance out the salt and smoked almonds)

1/2 cup smoked-flavored almonds, coarsely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon sea salt (preferably large crystal)



Extremely complicated directions:

Line 8-inch baking pan with parchment or wax paper.

Microwave the chocolate in uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute, then stir. The chocolate may keep some of it's shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until smooth.

Stir in 1/2 cup almonds.

Pour into the lined pan.

Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

Tap pan several times to spread the chocolate and settle the nuts.

Sprinkle with sea salt.

Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.

Break into pieces.

Store in air-tight container at room temperature.
