Fruit and Nut Bark
Instructions
- Toast almonds by baking at 325° for 8–10 minutes, until fragrant and golden (or leave raw).
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Melt chocolate in a bowl set over hot water, stirring frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup almonds, plus cherries and apricots. Scrape mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread out with a spatula to about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle remaining almonds evenly over top, gently pressing into chocolate to adhere.
- Chill bark until completely firm, about 2 hours. Break or cut into chunks and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
