👩‍🍳 Instructions

⠀

🍫 Line a baking tray with parchment paper, leaving

overhang on all sides for easy lifting later.

⠀

🥣 Place chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a

large heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.

⠀

🔥 Stir gently with a spatula until the chocolate is

completely smooth and glossy throughout.

⠀

✨ Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in

vanilla extract and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

⠀

🎨 Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared

parchment and spread evenly with an offset spatula.

⠀

🌰 Tap the tray gently on the counter to release any air

bubbles and create a smooth even surface.

⠀

🍒 Scatter dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, fresh

cherries, dried cherries, and pomegranate seeds across

the chocolate.

⠀

✨ Press the toppings gently into the chocolate so they

stick but stay visible on the surface.

⠀

❄️ Chill the bark in the fridge for 1 hour until completely

set and firm to the touch.

⠀

🌟 Crack the bark into rustic shards by hand, finish with

flaky salt and gold leaf, and serve in a stack.
