Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz bittersweet chocolate 60% to 70% cacao, finely chopped
  • 0.5 tsp orange extract
  • 0.33 cup candied orange peel finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup roasted unsalted pistachios chopped

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes total.
  4. Stir the orange extract into the melted chocolate.
  5. Spread the chocolate into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle the candied orange peel and pistachios evenly over the chocolate.
  7. Press the toppings in lightly.
  8. Refrigerate until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
  9. Break the bark into pieces.
  10. Serve.

Notes

For clean pieces, let the bark become fully firm before breaking it. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; it can be frozen. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free bittersweet chocolate.
