Admit it, you’ve been indulging in sweet treatsĀ this holiday season already right? I’ve had the occasional cookie more than once in a while lately. There’s something about the end of the year that makes me want to have a treat a little more. Ā I love peppermint bark during the holidays (actually my husband loves it even more), but I was wondering if I could do something a little different. Ā Luckily, my little one loves pomegranate seeds (yay for healthy treats) and I thought that this would be a refreshing departure.
The pomegranate seeds provide a juicy, unexpected crunch to the chocolate bark. Ā They’re also chock full of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folic acid, and fiber. But really, anything with a little dark and white chocolate is pretty good. Ā At least this is also semi-healthy and a little unexpected as well.
Pomegranate Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 12 ounces of dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 8 ounces of white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Special tools: silpat, jelly roll or other large flat sheet pan, double boiler (I always just use a large pot over a saucepan)
Servings
AboutĀ 10 servings
Preparation
1. Ā Melt 3/4 of dark chocolate in double boiler over simmering, not boiling water. Ā Chocolate may take up to 10 minutes to slowly melt. Ā StirĀ in remaining chocolate to melt.
2. Pour melted chocolate onto silpat and let cool. Ā You may put it in the refrigerator to quickly set (this may take 30 minutes).
3. Melt 3/4 of whiteĀ chocolate in double boiler over simmering, not boiling water. Ā Chocolate may take up to 10 minutes to slowly melt. Ā StirĀ in remaining chocolate to melt.
4. Cool white chocolate about 5-10 minutes and then pour over dark chocolate. Ā Some of the dark chocolate may melt slightly but that’s ok – this adds to the imperfectly perfect vibe! Ā Place pomegranate seedsĀ on top of the white chocolate. Ā Place mixture into refrigerator to set about 1 hour.
5. Break pomegranateĀ bark into large pieces.
