Creating Chocolate Bark is a delightful and straightforward process. Follow these steps to make your own at home:

1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
3. Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a rectangle or square shape, about ¼ inch thick.
4. Add Toppings: Quickly sprinkle the mixed nuts, dried fruits, crushed pretzels, and coconut flakes over the melted chocolate. Press down gently to ensure they stick.
5. Add Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a touch of sea salt over the top for an extra flavor boost.
6. Cool the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Let it cool for 30-45 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
7. Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the Chocolate Bark from the fridge. Break it into pieces of your desired size.
8. Store: Place the pieces in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge.

This simple method ensures that you have a delicious treat ready to enjoy or share!
