Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Prepare your canvas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes for easy removal. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

7 mins

Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat! (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

03

Step

3 mins

Create the swirl: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Drop dollops of sunflower seed butter randomly over the chocolate. Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to create beautiful swirls. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Add texture and flavor: Scatter the pretzel pieces over the swirled chocolate and gently press them in. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

3 mins

Chill and enjoy: Freeze the bark for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm. Break into pieces and serve straight from the freezer or refrigerator. (Chill time: 60 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle additional melted sunflower seed butter over the bark before chilling.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate.
Add other toppings like dried cranberries, chopped nuts (if not avoiding nuts), or shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for longer storage.
