Instructions
Making Salted Caramel Date Bark is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Add Dates: Stir the chopped dates into the melted chocolate until well coated.
4. Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate-date mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to your desired thickness.
5. Drizzle Caramel: Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the chocolate mixture, using a knife or spoon to swirl it in slightly.
6. Sprinkle Sea Salt: Evenly sprinkle the sea salt over the top for that perfect salty kick.
7. Add Nuts (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
8. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the bark is set and firm.
9. Break into Pieces: Once chilled, remove the bark from the refrigerator. Break it into pieces using your hands or a knife.
10. Store: Keep the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!).
