Notes:
- High-quality chocolate is essential for delicious chocolate almond bark. Use high-quality brands such as brand such as Lindt or TCHO.
- For a simpler (untempered) version of chocolate almond bark:
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the chopped almonds.
- Melt the chocolate in the method of your choice and pour the melted chocolate over the almonds.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator until serving. Serve cold.
- Untempered chocolate will not be as snappy or shiny as tempered chocolate, but it will taste very good. :)
