Vegan Dark Chocolate Bark with Nuts
Thin sheets of melted dark chocolate studded with toasted nuts, dried fruit, and flaky sea salt — a no-bake treat that stores beautifully and makes an impressive edible gift. Plan ahead: the bark needs at least 30 minutes to set at room temperature or 15 minutes in the fridge.
