Pistachio Pomegranate Chocolate Bark
My pistachio pomegranate chocolate bark is a wholesome holiday candy that's become an absolute favorite in our house! Every time I make this treat, my husband can't stay out of the bowl! It's got the perfect balance of sweetness from semi-sweet chocolate, saltiness from pistachios, and freshness from pomegranates. It's a treat that I make every year once pomegranates hit the grocery store shelves. I hope this recipe finds a special place in your kitchen during the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/3 cup shelled pistachios (roasted and salted work well)
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Prep Toppings
- Slice pomegranate into quarters to get out the seeds. Measure out 1/3 cup and set aside.
- Take pistachios out of shells (if they're not already) and coarsely chop with a knife into small pieces. Measure out 1/3 cup and set aside.
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt Chocolate over Double Broiler
- Place a glass or stainless steel heat-safe bowl over a pot of boiling water. Ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add chocolate chips to bowl and melt over low-medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth then use hot pads to immediately take bowl off heat. Do not let chocolate burn.
Assemble Chocolate Bark
- Pour melted chocolate on parchment-lined sheet pan right away. Use a spatula to spread it out into a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios over the top evenly.
- Gently press fruit and seeds down into the chocolate and sprinkle sea salt over the top.
- Place sheet pan in the fridge for 1 hour or until fully cooled and chocolate is hardened.
- Break chocolate into pieces and enjoy!
