Calories: 164kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz bag semi sweet vegan chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup vegan white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup freeze dried raspberries
- 1/4 cup coconut chips
- 1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Chop your dark chocolate into large pieces and transfer to a bowl.
- Fill a medium saucepan with an inch of water and place bowl over top so that mouth of the pan is covered by the bowl. Over medium high heat, melt the dark chocolate.
- Do the same for your white chocolate chips. (I did mine in the microwave since I only have one bowl/saucepan combo that works for melting chocolate.) If using the microwave, heat chips for 15 seconds at a time, stirring between each cooking session until melted.
- Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Spread dark chocolate in an even layer over the pan. Drop white chocolate onto the dark chocolate by large spoonfuls. Use a knife to swirl the two chocolates together.
- Sprinkle the almonds, raspberries, coconut chips, and sea salt evenly over the chocolate.
- Carefully transfer to the fridge or freezer for 30-45 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Break into large pieces to serve.

Notes
- Gather all of your ingredients and prepare baking sheet before starting as you want to work fast once the chocolate is melted.
- Microwave: Melt chocolate slowly in the microwave to prevent burning. Pause and stir every 15 seconds. Stop cooking when almost all of the chocolate has melted. Set on the counter and stir until completely melted. (Residual heat from the microwave/chocolate will finish melting the final pieces and prevent burning.)
- Double Boiler: Add 1 inch water to a large saucepan and bring to simmer. Place large bowl over top. (Bowl should be larger than the saucepan so the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water.) Add chocolate and stir as it melts.
- Almond bark will last for up to 2 weeks in a container on the counter or in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
