Steps:
- In a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter with the sugar alternative until creamy. Then add the extract and flour and mix until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Use a spatula to fold in the chopped hazelnuts. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 325 and prep two baking sheets for nonstick (I use parchment paper). Then use a scoop or spoon to scoop out tablespoon sized cookie dough and place them onto the prepped sheets, about one and a half to two inches apart from one another. You can use a fork to poke holes in top of the cookies.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden. Then transfer to a cooling rack to full cool before adding the chocolate topping. (see post for how to make the chocolate topping).

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of your chocolate will greatly affect the flavor of your bark, so be sure to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Chop the nuts finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the bark and give it a nice texture.
- Don't overmix the chocolate. Overmixing can cause the chocolate to become grainy and lose its shine.
- Let the bark cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the bark in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Hazelnut cacao bark is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. It is also a great way to use up leftover chocolate. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and nutritious snack that the whole family will enjoy.
