Tips:

  • Prepare the ingredients and tools in advance: Measure and gather all the ingredients before starting. Make sure you have a baking sheet, parchment paper, a microwave-safe bowl, and a wooden spoon or spatula ready.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will greatly affect the taste of your bark. Choose a high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become unusable. Be careful when melting the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
  • Spread the chocolate evenly: When pouring the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet, spread it out evenly so that it is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Refrigerate the bark before cutting: After topping the chocolate with cherries and almonds, refrigerate the bark for at least 30 minutes before cutting it into pieces. This will help the chocolate to set and make it easier to cut.
