Ingredients

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.

  3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer about 1/4 inch [6 mm] thick.

  4. Sprinkle the goji berries, pepitas, chia seeds and coarse sea salt evenly over the chocolate, pressing them lightly into the surface.

  5. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.

  6. Break the bark into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
