Chocolate Bark with Dried Fruit

One of the ways we celebrate the holiday of Tu B’Shevat is by eating fruit, specifically the kinds that the Torah mentions: grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, wheat and dates. Although they taste delicious on their own, I decided to sprinkle some of these onto melted chocolate to create chocolate bark.

Here's what I used to create my bark...

It's really easy to make...

Place the chocolate in a double boiler just until it melts. (I used parve chocolate chips.) Pour melted chocolate onto parchment paper and smooth onto a cookie sheet. While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle with the sliced almonds, raisins, pretzels, figs and pomegranate seeds.  Let it sit at room temperature until it hardens.

Package in clear cellophane bags to give to friends or enjoy it yourself!
