How to make chocolate bark with only 2 ingredients, including melted chocolate and nuts for mix-ins. This is the perfect energy boosting snack, after-school treat or holiday candy for Christmas, Easter, or Halloween.
Line a quarter-sized baking sheet (8-inch by 12-inch) with parchment paper.
Make the Bark
Add the nut butter or olive oil to the chocolate, and microwave the mixture for one minute. Stir until fully melted.
1 cup (170g) chocolate chips, ¼ cup (60g) nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter)
Pour the melted mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula. I normally keep it in an oval shape and don't let it reach the pan edges so the edges stay rounded and finished-looking.
Sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate mixture.
½ cup almonds, chopped, 2 tablespoon popped quinoa, ½ cup holiday candy
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or let it sit on the counter for longer until the chocolate is fully hardened.
Once hardened, break the bark into bite-sized pieces.
Storage
Store the chocolate bark in a sealed container either in the refrigerator or at room temperature in a cool place. At room temperature the bark is fine for about a week. You can refrigerate it for up to two weeks. It can be frozen wrapped and sealed tightly for up to 3 months.

Notes
Swap out the nut butters to change the flavor. Peanut butter, almond and cashew are conventional options, but there is also walnut butter and pistachio.1.The recipe yield is a sheet of bark about 8-inches by 12-inches. To use a quarter sized baking sheet, double the recipe.2.The depth of the bark is between ¼ inch and ½ inch depending on if the chocolate reaches the edges of the pan.3.Be sure to add the toppings to the bark while it is wet so they stick.
