Brazil Nut Bark

When you need a homemade gift or a quick candy fix, this bark has your back.

Melt semi-sweet chocolate with a touch of butter until glossy, fold in chopped brazil nuts and raisins, then spread the whole thing onto waxed paper and let the fridge do the rest.

Once it’s firm, snap it into jagged, rustic pieces.

The brazil nuts bring a rich, creamy crunch you don’t get from almonds or peanuts, and the raisins add little bursts of chewy sweetness throughout.

Pro Tips

• Melt the chocolate over barely simmering water and stir constantly to avoid seizing
• Toast the brazil nuts lightly before adding them for a deeper, nuttier flavor
• Spread the bark thin for snappy pieces or thick for a more fudgy bite
• Package in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for an easy holiday gift
