Toppings
- 1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate)
- ¾ cup pistachio nuts (2.6 oz / 75 g)
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.

- Spread chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and smooth it evenly into a layer about ¼ inch thick or thicker if preferred.
- Add toppings: Evenly scatter the fresh pomegranate seeds and pistachio nuts over the warm chocolate, pressing them gently to embed into the chocolate.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.
- Break or cut bark: Once set, break the chocolate bark into roughly 15 pieces by hand or cut it with a knife.
- Store: Keep the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
