I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, but I really enjoyed this bark. The sweetness of the cranberries and the saltiness of the almonds balance out the bitterness of the chocolate perfectly.

This bark is delicious! The dark chocolate is rich and decadent, and the almonds and cranberries add a nice crunch and tartness.

This bark is so easy to make, and it's a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen. My kids loved helping me measure the ingredients and stir the chocolate.

This dark chocolate bark was a hit at my holiday party! It's so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover chocolate and nuts.
