Ingredients

  • 1.3 cups almonds whole
  • pound chocolate dark
  • 0.8 cup roasted pumpkin seeds salted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • baking paper
  • knife
  • candy thermometer

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, finely chop the chocolate. In a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, heat the chopped chocolate, stirring occasionally, until it is about two-thirds melted; do not let the bowl touch the water.
  2. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted and the temperature registers 90 on a candy thermometer. If the chocolate has not melted completely and is still too cool, set it over the saucepan for 1 or 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly; do not overheat.
  3. Stir the almonds and seeds into the chocolate and spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a 1/2-inch-thick layer, making sure the nuts and seeds are completely covered in chocolate. Refrigerate the bark for about 10 minutes, until hardened. Invert the bark onto a work surface.
  4. Remove the parchment paper, break into 25 pieces and store or serve.
