Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Chocolate is a decadent treat that always hits the spot, comes in a plethora of varieties and is easy to make desserts out of. There’s nothing better than knowing there’s a recipe out there that is perfectly delicious and basically impossible to screw up! This chocolate drizzle almond bark is one of those recipes that you ‘ll find yourself having a mean hankering for and, we ‘re sorry to say, will probably distract you from other important things until you’ve satiated that craving. We know, we’ve created a monster–but it ‘s so good and easy, and it ‘s really not hard to whip up a batch and then continue going about your daily routine!

This bark is truly scrumptious and, although it does require serious patience while you wait for it to set, it comes together in a matter of minutes, without any hassle, so your prep is quick and you can get to eating it sooner! We love the addition of nuts and sea salt in our chocolate bark, but you could also add an assortment of dried fruit or white chocolate or mint to your bark if you want to switch it up. It’s okay to go crazy with this one, so let your stomachs be your guide and get started!
