- 2 pounds dark chocolate (907 ⅛ grams)
- 1 lb white chocolate (453 ⅔ grams)
- 1¼ cups roasted almonds**see notes (178 ¾ grams)
- 1¼ cups walnuts (146 ¼ grams)
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 4 minutes. Don't overdo it.
Melt the white chocolate in another bowl in the same manner.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a knife or a spatula to spread the melted dark chocolate evenly over the baking sheet.
Drop spoonfuls of white chocolate on top and swirl the chocolates with a skewer.
Sprinkle the almonds and walnuts over the chocolate. Using your fingers press the nuts into the chocolate.
Let the bark cool at room temperature for 2 hours.
When it's completely hardened break it apart using your hands or a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy.
**How to roast almonds:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place almonds in a single layer on the sheet.
- Roast whole almonds in preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, sliced almonds for 6-8 minutes, and slivered almonds for 7-9 minutes. (Shake the baking sheet once or twice as it's roasting.)
(Be sure to keep an eye on the roasting - some ovens may be hotter than others.)
Storage: Store your marble chocolate candy in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. While you can freeze this chocolate bark, the chocolate can discolor, and the nuts may lose some of their crunchiness.
TIPS:
- While you don’t have to temper the melted dark chocolate for this chocolate candy, it is an option and will produce a superior chocolate bark. To temper the chocolate, heat it until it reaches 108-115F.
- This candy is the ideal gift for friends and family over the holidays. Add it to a decorative paper box or cello bag with decorative strings or ribbon.
- If you’ve used chips to make this chocolate bark, you may need to mix in some vegetable oil when melting the chips as a way to prevent any lumps or the chocolate from seizing.
