Photo: Dana's Dark Chocolate Bark Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 16 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup brown rice cereal
Directions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat sheet and set aside. Toast hazelnuts in a dry pan until warmed and fragrant. Let the nuts cool, then chop and set chopped pieces aside.
In a double boiler, slowly melt chocolate, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon; add brown rice cereal and mix gently. Pour mixture onto lined baking sheet and smooth out evenly into a rectangular shape (it doesn't have to be perfect).
Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and set aside for 1 to 2 hours (or 30 to 45 minutes in the fridge) until chocolate hardens. Break into pieces and serve.
