  • 14 oz (400 g)
    dairy-free dark chocolate
  • ⅓ cup (46 g)
    roasted unsalted almonds, chopped

Directions

  1. Place a layer of baking paper on the bottom of two 5 x 7 inch (13 x 19 cm) baking dishes.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or on the stove, using a double boiler. Let the chocolate cool off a bit.
  3. Pour half of the melted chocolate between the prepared dishes, and use the back of a rubber spatula to evenly distribute the chocolate into a thin layer.
  4. Distribute the almonds, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds on top of the chocolate layer.
  5. Drizzle the remaining half of the chocolate over top, "sandwiching" the almonds and cranberries in the middle of the chocolate layers. Using a rubber spatula to even out the top.

This recipe is definitely going to become a go-to for me! I used pistachios in place of pumpkin seeds and it turned out wonderful.

I tried this recipe. It was so quick to make. Tasted so heavenly !! I was first thinking about eyeballing the quantity of nuts and seeds but good that I followed the exact proportion because it was perfect.
Thank you for this.
