Ingredient Notes

  • Fresh Cranberries: I use fresh cranberries in this 3-ingredient chocolate bark. They give an amazing crunch to the treat and are full of bright tart flavor.
  • Dark Chocolate: I use dark chocolate without any added sugar, but you can use your favorite chocolate bar or dark chocolate chips. I really recommend using a dark chocolate bar over chocolate chips. The chocolate bark will harden and snap if you use a chocolate bar.
  • Flaky Salt: You can totally skip this ingredient if you don't like the combination of salt and chocolate.

Important Recipe Notes

Substitutions

A chocolate bar is better than using chocolate chips in this recipe. If you use chocolate chips, you will need to temper your chocolate. For a guide on how to temper chocolate, check out my guide HERE. Use any type of chocolate you like: milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate. If you're avoiding sugar, use a no-sugar chocolate bar.

Variations

There are so many fun variations you can do with this 3 ingredient chocolate bark recipe! Try adding pretzel pieces or pretzel sticks on top. Or, sprinkle candy canes, white chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or almond slices on top. Coconut flakes and candy canes are a great flavor combination! Pretzel pieces and mini chocolate chips are also a great combination. If you're using pretzel sticks, make sure that they are gluten-free pretzel sticks.

Storage

Store the cranberry chocolate bark in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. This chocolate bark doesn't do well in the freezer.

Melting Chocolate

You can melt the chocolate in the microwave or you can use the double boiler method. If you're looking for more guidance on how to melt chocolate using the double boiler method, check out my blog post HERE. If you're melting the chocolate in the microwave, make sure to use a microwave-safe bowl.

How to Make Chocolate Bark

There are a few steps to make the perfect chocolate bark.

First, make sure to line a large baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. I prefer to use precut parchment paper. You can also use silicone baking mats instead of parchment paper.

Melt the roughly chopped chocolate in the microwave for two minutes in a glass bowl. Stop every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate to prevent burning. Use a microwave-safe bowl for this.

Mix the cranberries and melted chocolate together and pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Top tip

Let the chocolate bark sit in the refrigerator until firm. This takes about 5-6 minutes.

FAQ

Can you use chocolate chips instead of chocolate bark?

You can, but sometimes chocolate chips don't give the same satisfying crunch as a chocolate bar does if it's not tempered correctly.
