    This Salted Dark Chocolate-Orange Almond Bark could be the perfect ending to your romantic Valentine's date night dinner or Galentine's get-together! You'll only need 4 ingredients to make this chocolate bark!

    Salted Dark Chocolate-Orange Almond Bark.

    Just in time for Valentine's Day, I've updated this popular chocolate-orange bark recipe!

    Is there anything that goes together better than chocolate and red wine?

    Well . . . maybe chocolate and almonds and red wine.

    Or chocolate and almonds with orange zest and a sprinkle of sea salt!

    Salted Dark Chocolate-Orange Almond Bark.

    And that's all you need for a perfect ending to a meal. I've discovered a simple truth: the less sugar I have, the less I crave. Filling a plate with a variety of veggies and high-quality protein reduces the desire to have something sweet and sugary for dessert.

    I do, however, love a piece of dark chocolate after dinner. This Chocolate-Orange Almond Bark is something to look forward to throughout a meal! 

    You can make it quickly before dinner, pop it into the freezer and it will be ready in time for dessert.

    Ingredients

    You only need 4 ingredients to make this chocolate orange bark with almonds.

    • dark chocolate: use a high quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content, preferably 70 - 85%.
    • almonds: blanched or unblanched. You will toast them to increase their flavour.
    • orange zest:  from an organic orange that you have thoroughly washed
    • flaky sea salt: like Fleur de Sel
    • dark chocolate chunks
      quality dark chocolate
    • almonds, orange zest and chocolate
      almond, orange zest and chocolate

    Step-by-step instructions

    1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. Toast almonds for 7 - 10 minutes at 350°F. on a rimmed baking sheet. Remove from oven, set aside to cool, then coarsely chop.
    3. Meanwhile, melt ¾ of the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Once it has melted, remove from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate until fully melted.
    4. Spread the melted chocolate on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, about ¼ inch thick.
    5. While still warm, sprinkle evenly with orange zest, chopped toasted almonds and flaky sea salt.
    6. Let cool completely, then break into pieces.

    Helpful Tips

    Adding a hint of orange to chocolate puts this chocolate bark over the top. I used zest from a Cara Cara orange, because I happened to have some of these specialty oranges left after making this Grapefruit-Orange Avocado Salad. They have a beautiful, almost floral, aroma, but any orange zest will do.

    Sprinkling a little flaky sea salt over the chocolate adds another layer of flavour that makes this chocolate bark irresistible!

      Hi,
      So the Orange zest goes in raw? Not also toasted or anything?
      Thanks.

        Hi Maria, Yes, you can add it in raw. Be sure to only zest the outer layer of the orange, as the white pith can be quite bitter.

      Valentine's day? I see this in my future sooner than that. I love orange and chocolate together and especially when you add a little salt to the mix. Love your suggestion of wine with this...if you say so 😉 Happy almost Friday to ya 🙂
