Dark Chocolate Bark with Pistachios, Dried Figs & Sea Salt

Prep: 10 mins | Set: 30 mins 

Makes 12–15 pieces

Ingredients:

• 200g / 7oz dark chocolate (85%+), roughly chopped
• ⅓ cup / 40g pistachios, roughly chopped
• 4–5 dried figs, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp cacao nibs (optional)
• ½ tsp flaky sea salt

Method:

1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally until completely smooth. Remove from heat.
2. Pour the melted chocolate onto a lined baking tray and spread into an even layer approximately 5mm thick using a spatula.
3. Working quickly before the chocolate begins to set, scatter the pistachios, fig slices, and cacao nibs evenly across the surface. Finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt.
4. Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for at least 30 minutes until completely firm. Once set, break into irregular pieces.

Storage: Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Break into pieces before freezing for easy grab-and-go portions.
