How to Make Three Chocolate Bark With Spiced Pecans And Dried Cherries

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large sauté pan, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and stir until dissolved and bubbly.
Add 1 cup pecan halves.
Season pecans with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar caramelizes and coats pecans evenly (about 4 minutes).
Remove from heat; spread pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast in preheated oven for 6 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break into small pieces.
Fill three small saucepans halfway with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
In three separate heatproof bowls, place 6 ounces dark chocolate, 6 ounces milk chocolate, and 6 ounces white chocolate.
Place bowls over simmering water (double boiler method).
Melt chocolate, stirring frequently, until smooth (about 2 minutes per bowl).
Remove from heat and stir 1 tablespoon butter into each bowl.
Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pour each type of melted chocolate onto a separate baking sheet.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup spiced pecans and 1/2 cup dried cherries over each chocolate layer.
Using a metal spatula, spread each mixture evenly to 1/4-inch thickness.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Break into medium-sized pieces and serve.
