How to Make French Chocolate Bark
- Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add 8 ounces of dark chocolate and 4 ounces of milk chocolate to the heatproof bowl. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a ruler and pencil, lightly draw a 9x10 inch rectangle on the parchment paper as a guide.
- Invert the parchment paper onto the baking sheet so the drawn rectangle is face down.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper within the marked rectangle. Spread evenly to create a thin, rectangular layer using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped cashews, 1/4 cup of dried apricots (chopped), and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries evenly over the melted chocolate.
- Gently press the nuts and dried fruits into the chocolate to secure them.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Once firm, lift the chocolate bark from the parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1x3 inch pieces.
- Serve the chocolate bark at room temperature and enjoy!
