Raspberry Chocolate Bark With Almonds (Easy Recipe) (2024)

Sprinkle the chopped blanched almonds over the melted chocolate and then stir them through.

Melt the white chocolate and pour half of it into the brownie tin on top of the dark chocolate mixture.

Add the raspberry powder to the other half of the melted white chocolate and stir it together to make raspberry chocolate.

Add the raspberry chocolate to the brownie tin. Lightly swirl the three chocolates together to form a pattern (just a little bit, don’t over mix).

Sprinkle the whole freeze dried raspberries on top of the bark. Refrigerate the homemade chocolate bark until set and then break it into shards.

Top tips

1. Halving or doubling the recipe:This recipe can easily be halved or doubled. If you halve the recipe to make a smaller portion you’ll need to use a smaller tray. If you double the recipe to make a larger portion then use a larger tray.
2. Substitute ingredients:
   1. The fruit: Raspberries are great in this recipe because they’re nice and tangy which gives a burst of flavor and offsets well against the rich chocolate. However, for those of you who are not raspberry lovers you can substitute for freeze dried strawberries instead, although the fruit flavour will likely not be as intense.
   2. The base chocolate:If you prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate you can easily swap this out and it’ll be just as delicious (albeit slightly sweeter overall).
   3. The nuts: Feel free to swap out the almonds for a different hard nut such as macadamia nuts or cashew, these should also work well. Softer nuts such as walnut or pecan will not add as much crunch. If you cannot eat nuts you can omit them altogether.
   4. Additions: You could try adding coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter or other freeze-dried fruit to your chocolate bark if you fancy it!
3. Storing:This chocolate bark is best stored in the fridge in an airtight container and will keep for 3-5 days. It can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or brought to room temperature before eating if you prefer.

FAQs

Can I use a different sized tin?

Yes you can use a smaller tin (e.g. 20cm x 20cm square) but the chocolate will be slightly thicker. To keep nice chunky shards of triple chocolate bark, we would not recommend using a larger tin or baking sheet without increasing the recipe (unless you specifically want thinner shards).

Can I melt the chocolate in the microwave rather than using a Bain Marie?

We prefer to use a Bain Marie because you can keep a closer eye on the chocolate as it melts, however yes you can melt the chocolate in a microwave if you prefer. Add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave it in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until it has fully melted and is glossy. Be careful not to microwave it for too long as this can ruin the texture of the chocolate.

Can I use fresh raspberries?

We have tested this recipe with fresh raspberries and yes, you can use fresh fruit but the chocolate will have a shorter shelf life (ideally eaten within 1-2 days). Freeze dried raspberries tend to have a more intense flavour too so we recommend using freeze dried over fresh if you have them.

Can I use a different nut or omit them altogether?

This vegan almond bark is delicious as is but you can use other nut varieties. We recommend macadamia or cashew nuts as an alternative to blanched almonds to add crunch. You can omit the nuts if you prefer.

Can I use milk chocolate rather than dark?

Yes, feel free to use your favourite type of chocolate to create milk or white chocolate raspberry bark. The final product will be a sweeter chocolate bark compared to the original recipe.
