Chocolate bark is quick to make and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser no matter the occasion. If you’re wondering how to make chocolate bark, every recipe starts with the same premise. Whether by double-boiler or microwave, melt your chocolate of choice with a small amount of coconut oil. Spread the chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and top with whatever your heart desires! Freeze at least one hour then break apart and devour.

Experimenting with flavor combinations is where you’ll find the most fun. If you’d rather start with a recipe, there’s seasonal barks for Christmas and Passover, but you’ll also find recipes that satisfy any hankering, including ones you didn’t know you had. (Chili chocolate bark with orange and goji berries, anyone?) In this super simple recipe, you’ll have the richness of dark chocolate combined with the crunch of pumpkin seeds, tartness from dried cranberries and sweetness of coconut flakes. What flavor combination will you create?
