Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the melted chocolate evenly in a thin layer on the parchment paper. Lightly sprinkle some sea salt on top.
Evenly distribute cranberries and almonds over the melted chocolate, ensuring they make contact with the chocolate so they stick well. Avoid piling the toppings on, as this may cause them to fall off easily when serving.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Once hardened, break the bark into pieces and savor the deliciousness of this easy, no-bake treat.

Notes

For an allergy-friendly version, select gluten and dairy free ingredients. // The thickness of your bark can be adjusted by how thickly you spread the chocolate; a thinner spread results in thinner bark, while a thicker spread creates a chunkier bark. // When it comes to chocolate, we rely on Enjoy Life for its allergy-friendly, gluten and dairy-free options – a family favorite. People are often surprised to learn it contains no dairy! If you prefer a sweeter treat, opt for semi-sweet chocolate, or if you prefer a less sweet option, opt for a darker chocolate. // As for the salt in this recipe, it's optional. It adds a nice flavor that pairs wonderfully with the almonds and enhances the sweetness of the chocolate. You can even opt for a flaky salt if that's more your speed. It's your call!
