🥜Ingredients (Makes about 12 pieces)
10 oz dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa, chopped)
½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup whole hazelnuts
½ tsp flaky sea salt
Optional: a pinch of cinnamon for warmth
🍯Step-by-Step: Bark in 4 Easy Moves
1. Toast & Crush the Hazelnuts
Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
Lock your cheese shredder hand crank and use the crushing blade—feed in the hazelnuts and crank for coarse, golden crumbs that burst with flavor. Set half aside for topping.
2. Melt the Chocolate
Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until silky smooth. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into an even rectangle.
3. Swirl in the Caramel
Dollop caramel over the melted chocolate. Use a skewer or knife to swirl gently—create beautiful marbled patterns. Sprinkle the first half of crushed hazelnuts evenly across the surface.
4. Chill & Break
Sprinkle flaky sea salt and the remaining crushed hazelnuts on top. Pop in the fridge until firm. Snap into jagged pieces—each one unique and irresistible. Store in an airtight container (if it lasts that long!).
🍫Tips & Twists
Extra Crunch – Add a handful of crushed pretzels with the hazelnuts.
