Apricot Pistachio Chocolate Bark

Apricot Pistachio Chocolate Bark Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2½ cups vegan dark chocolate chunks (or chips; soy-free if necessary)

2 teaspoons coconut oil

⅓ cup roughly chopped pistachios

Heaping ½ cup chopped dried apricots

Flaked sea salt

Instructions

1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2If possible, use binder clips to clip the edges of the paper to the rim of the sheet. This will hold it in place when you’re spreading the chocolate.

3Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl on top of a pot of boiling water, stirring frequently, until smooth.

4Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a silicone spatula to spread it until it’s about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.

5Sprinkle the top with the pistachios and apricots, then with salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until completely set.

6Break the bark into pieces and place the pieces in cellophane bags tied closed with string or in a cute box. Store in a cool, dry place.

7You can, of course, use different dried fruits and/or nuts in this bark. Just use equal quantities as listed and you’ll be golden.

8For a nut-free option, use shelled sunflower seeds or pepitas (pumpkin seeds).

9To really make this bark stand out, use high-quality, high-cacao-content chocolate.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
