Since Cheryl voiced her affinity for this flavor of gourmet chocolate bar (at World Market for $6), I saw this recipe in the paper and thought I'd post it. Easy, gourmet-tasting, and frugal. Maybe we could call this Cheryl's Bark instead! Makes 15 pieces
8 oz. Nestle Chocolatier 53% cacao dark chocolate baking bars, broken into small pieces
1/2 c. smoked almonds, coarsely chopped & divided
1/8 tsp. sea salt, preferably large crystal
Line an 8" baking pan with waxed paper.
Microwave chocolate in a small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on high (100% power) for 45 seconds; stir. If pieces retain some of their original shape, microwave at additional 10-15 second intervals, stirring just until melted. Stir in 1/4 c. of the almonds.
Pour into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining almonds. Tap pan several times to spread chocolate and settle nuts. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
