Almond and Coconut Bark

Festive looking, this almond and coconut bark makes an excellent gift.

• 3 c almonds
• 16 ozs dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 ½ c coconut, toasted
• flaked sea salt for topping

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pour the almonds onto the baking sheet and roast for ten minutes - don’t burn.  Remove from the oven to cool.

Line another sheet pan with parchment.

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for one minute, stirring and return to the microwave for another forty seconds and stir.   

Pour three quarters of the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out the chocolate.  Immediately sprinkle on half of the toasted coconut, then sprinkle on the almonds and the remaining coconut.  Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate overtop.   Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze for half an hour.   Peel off parchment, and break bark into pieces.
