Chocolate Nut Bark

By: EatingWell Test Kitchen

Ingredients

2 cups semisweet, bittersweet or milk chocolate chips, melted (see Tip)
1½ cups assorted nuts, such as hazelnuts, almonds and cashews, plus more for garnish

Directions

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. (Take care to avoid wrinkles.) Combine melted chocolate and nuts in a medium bowl. Scrape the mixture onto the foil and spread it into an approximate 12-by-9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with additional finely chopped nuts, if desired. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
2. Transfer the bark and foil to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 1½-inch pieces.

• Make Ahead Tip: Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Tip: To melt chocolate, microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Or place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.
