- Hey guys, it's Justin. Welcome to Try It Out Tuesday, brought to you by Delish and Fisher Nuts. In preparation for the holidays, we're gonna be making some sweet and salty chocolate bark. At your holiday dinner, your Uncle Barry might only love all the savory things, while your cousin Matt might only want the sweet things in life, but this snack is the perfect way to give every member of your family exactly what they want. And taking a little bit of time before the big event to test, to experiment, maybe even customize the recipe is the perfect thing to do. So let's get into it. The star of this dessert is Fisher's pecans. They come in halves, and they also come chopped up. The chopped is nice because that saves a little bit of time, but I like getting the halves because then I can determine just how big or how small the pieces are gonna be in the bark. This bag is great because for this recipe, all you need is a half a cup of chopped pecans, and you have an entire bag to do whatever you want for the rest of your holiday baking, whether that be making pecan pie or making more of this bark, which I promise you're gonna wanna make a lot of this bark. First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna chop our nuts. You can make them as big or as small as you want. I like a medium, roughly chopped. Whatever you do, keep it rustic. It's gonna look beautiful on the final product. What I love about this recipe is that the topping for the chocolate bark is basically just anything you'd want to throw in your favorite autumnal trail mix. In this case, we got some dried mango, some cranberries, some flaky coconut, some pretzels. And of course, our pecans. We're gonna toss that all in a bowl, give it a good mix. So we have our sweet and salty topping all mixed together perfectly, so we are gonna move on to melting our chocolate. And this is the only cooking that's involved in this recipe, which makes it the perfect project for your family or for your kids. And we're not even gonna use the stove, no double boiler. We're gonna melt this chocolate in the microwave. It's my preferred way of melting. And all you have to do is go in 30-second increments, giving it a quick mix in between each 30 seconds to make sure that everything is melting perfectly and evenly, and then we're gonna get it onto our baking sheet. I have a baking sheet that I've lined with parchment paper, and that's just gonna help to help the chocolate bark release off the bottom of the pan, and break up into pieces easily. So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna pour in our chocolate, only a third of it, and we're gonna use a spatula. I like using an offset because it gets it really flat and smooth. But if you don't have one, you can just use a rubber spatula. You want it to be about an eighth of an inch thick in a rectangular shape. Then we're gonna dust that with half of our sweet and salty topping. Finally, we're gonna pour the remaining two thirds of the chocolate over the bark, and then top that with the remainder of our sweet and salty mixture. Last thing we're gonna do is we're gonna top this entire thing with a little bit of flaky sea salt, give it that perfect little bit of salty finish. It's gonna look amazing, taste even better. Now, we're gonna transfer this to the fridge, set for an hour, break into pieces, and enjoy. Look how amazing this is. I can already imagine it as like, the centerpiece of a Thanksgiving dessert table. Honestly, just like, any dessert table. This is absolutely delicious. You get the crunch of the pretzels, the crispy nuttiness of the pecans, the coconut, which adds a whole 'nother dimension, and of course, that flaky sea salt and the dried fruit. It's amazing. So many different flavors that marry so nicely, especially when it's enrobed in beautiful semi-sweet chocolate. I hope you have a fantastic holidays, and please make a batch of this bark. Your family will thank you. (upbeat music)
