Ingredients
- White chocolate (high-quality bars or melting wafers)
- Whole almonds, roughly chopped
- Flaky sea salt
- Optional: a small amount of coconut oil for smoother melting
How to Make White Toasted Almond Bark
- Toast the almonds
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until they turn golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before using. This step is essential—it brings out the deep, nutty flavor that makes the bark irresistible. - Melt the white chocolate
Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy. If needed, add a small amount of coconut oil to improve texture. - Combine
Stir the toasted almonds into the melted chocolate, making sure they’re evenly coated. - Spread the mixture
Pour the chocolate-almond mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. - Finish with sea salt
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top. This final touch elevates the entire dessert. - Set and break
Let the bark cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once firm, break it into rustic pieces.
Tips for Best Results
- Use good-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Don’t skip toasting the almonds—it adds depth and crunch.
- Sprinkle the sea salt lightly; a little goes a long way.
