Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt

By 68 Comments

Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt could not be easier to make, and helloooo sweet treat!  It’s tasty and a little addictive, and it makes a nice holiday gift, especially when packaged in a colorful tin.  

A holiday treat: Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt

Ready or not, the holidays are here! I’m good about getting the decorations and gifts ready with time to spare (well… pretty good), but there are always a few items I need at crunch time, including gifts and goodies. 

Gift idea: Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt

This chocolate bark takes care of both of those needs! If you find yourself in need of a gift for your neighbors or friends dropping by, get yourself to the store and pick up a few festive tins, some colored plastic wrap or waxed paper, and the rest of the ingredients to make this super-simple treat.

There’s no baking, no frosting, and no fuss when it comes to this goodie.

Holiday cheer: Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt

What could be better than chocolate, pistachios, and a touch of sea salt? This is seriously so easy to make that you might find yourself with several batches to give out — but don’t forget to keep some for yourself! 

For candy bark, the possibilities are endless! Check out some options below if you’re looking to expand a bit. If you’re considering one of the options below, I recommend using about 1/3 cup of the fruit or marshmallows.

Options:

  • Orange oil
  • Peppermint oil
  • Grated orange zest
  • Crushed peppermint candy to sprinkle over the top instead of sea salt
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Toasted cocoanut flakes
  • Dried fruit like cranberries, cherries, or blueberries
  • Almonds, pecans, cashews, pine nuts, or peanuts
  • Use white chocolate, or half white and half semisweet chocolate

Simple, quick and delicious. This is a gluten-free treat, too (just be sure to check the label of the chocolate you’re using or any of the other ingredients). Here’s to a happy holiday season!

Make a few batches of Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Sea Salt to give out, and be sure to keep some for yourself!

Ingredients

  • 1, 10-ounce bag of bittersweet chocolate chips or chocolate pieces, broken (I used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, which are also gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup of shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped
  • Sea salt to sprinkle over the top

Instructions

  1. Add aluminum foil to the bottom of a baking pan.
  2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 10-15 seconds-increments (or in a double boiler), stirring after each round, until melted.
  3. If you’re using dried fruit, add it at this point and stir it throughout the chocolate.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula so it’s about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle the pistachios over the top. Allow the chocolate to sit for about 5 minutes and sprinkle with the sea salt.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Once the chocolate is hard, remove from the refrigerator and gently lift it from the pan.
  6. Place on a cutting board and use either a knife or just your hands to break the chocolate into3-4-inch pieces. Store it in a tightly sealed container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for several weeks, or out of the refrigerator for about a week.

  12. This looks like the perfect recipe for my mom. She loves Pistachios! I am allergic (but only found out after I had a love for them but started to getting a tight throat), but used to love them too. I will have to make this for her this Christmas. Simple and delicious

    • Thanks, Rachel. I'm so sorry you can't enjoy this recipe, but maybe you could use another nut? Or dried fruit like cranberries? Merry Christmas!
