Strawberry Macadamia Dark Chocolate Bark

My favourite treat when I want something sweet, quick and simple. The perfect harmony of flavour and texture in every bite without taking us on a sugar rollercoaster. Your chocoholic side won't know the difference.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup macadamias
  • 1/2 cup of freeze dried strawberries
  • 200g Dark Chocolate (90%)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1) Line container of choice with baking paper

2) Melt chocolate using one of the methods below:

Microwave: Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place in a large heatproof bowl and microwave on low in increments of 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir between each increment. You'll want to keep stirring to make sure the chocolate chunks at the bottom melt, not burn.

Stovetop: Double boiler sounds fancy, but it's quite simple. It just means you place a glass bowl on top of some simmering water so that the steam melts the chocolate. Despite the name, a boil is not necessary because we want gentle heat. You want the bottom of the bowl to not be touching the water in the pot. If it dips into the water, it will get too hot and you will risk burning. There is also no need for a lid as it can create condensation which we don't want.

3) Spread melted dark chocolate evenly with an offset spatula or large metal spoon into container.

4) Scatter freeze dried strawberries generously and crushed macadamia nuts over melted dark chocolate, then sprinkle pinch of sea salt.

5) Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

6) Break into large shards and enjoy!
