Ingredients
- 1 pound high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher recommended), finely chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
- Add spices and nuts: Remove the melted chocolate from the heat. Stir in the chipotle powder and sea salt (if using). Taste and adjust the amount of chipotle powder if needed.
- Spread the chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a thin, even layer using a spatula.
- Add almonds: Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press them into the chocolate.
- Chill: Refrigerate the chocolate bark for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Break into pieces: Once the chocolate is firm, break it into irregular pieces.
Notes
- Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Chipotle Powder: Chipotle powder adds a smoky heat to the bark. Start with a smaller amount and add more if you want it spicier. You can also use finely minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (use sparingly).
- Nut Variations: You can use other nuts instead of almonds, such as pecans, walnuts, or pistachios. You can also add dried fruit, such as cranberries or cherries.
- Storage: Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
