The easiest chocolate almond bark is made with 3 ingredients!

The best chocolate almond bark is made with thick pieces of indulgent almond bark packed with crunchy, roasted almonds and rich chocolate goodness. My favorite vegan almond bark is so simple and easy.

The Very Best Almond Bark, Made with the Simplest Recipe

Just when you think the craving for almonds and chocolate cannot truly be satisfied, it hits you: why not make almond bark? Today’s chocolate almond bark is one of my go-to chocolate recipes because it’s so easy to make and even easier to eat. I’ve also put together some of my favorite almond bark recipes so you can see the endless, delicious possibilities of almond bark!

What is Chocolate Almond Bark?

Chocolate almond bark is a type of sweet candy that features a whole lotta almonds. It’s made in one sheet of chocolate, then broken into smaller pieces for the just-right size of chocolate indulgence.

Almond Bark Ingredients

  • Chocolate Chips – if you want to make vegan almond bark, just make sure to use vegan chocolate chips. All other almond bark ingredients are good to go!
  • Coconut Oil – you can leave this one out, but I like how it gets your chocolate nice and smooth.
  • Almonds – I always use unsalted, roasted almonds because they have the best flavor without adding in any salt. If you’d like to add salt, I suggest sprinkling that on top of the almond bark once it’s all cooled and chilled.

How to Make Chocolate Almond Bark Like a Chocolatier (aka Chocolate Boss)

Wanna learn how to make the best chocolate almond bark ever? Have a seat and grab your favorite chocolate! (Might as well get some munching in while we learn, ya know?)

Line the Pan

First things first, grab your favorite small or medium baking sheet. Everyone has one, right? 😉 Then, line it with wax paper or parchment paper.

 

Melt the Chocolate

Next, melt your chocolate and coconut oil using the double boiler method or the microwave. Just make sure to stir it altogether until nice and smooth.

Fold Almonds Into Melted Chocolate

Now, it’s almond time! Fold in roasted, unsalted almonds until all of the almonds are fully coated.

Pour Almond Bark Mixture

Pour your almond bark mixture onto the prepared sheet. Then, grab a clean spatula and spread it into an even layer. You can make your almond bark as thick or as thin as you’d like.

Optionally, Top with Almonds

I love giving my almond bark that extra pop by topping it with more roasted almonds! Sprinkle almonds onto that layer of melted chocolate almond bark goodness, then press lightly down on each almond to ensure it embeds nicely. You can skip this step, but I feel that adding it in creates that extra wow factor. 🙂

Refrigerate, Break, and Enjoy!

Place your sheet of melty soon-to-be almond bark into the refrigerator until firm. Once firm, peel off the parchment or wax paper and slice or break that sheet of chocolate almond goodness! You’re making the almond bark, baby! Now enjoy the best chocolate almond bark!

Is almond bark vegan? 

Not all almond bark recipes are created equal–some almond bark is vegan, some isn’t. If you want to ensure that yours is, just make sure to use vegan-friendly chocolate chips! Also, follow today’s recipe, as it does not have any non-vegan ingredients. 😉 Side note, today’s almond bark recipe is also gluten free!

So that’s my whole dissertation on why you need to make this 3 Ingredient Chocolate Almond Bark Recipe. Like right now. Not that you have to make it with dark chocolate or extra dark chocolate or anything you don’t want to do, but that you should just try it!

The flavor of chocolate and the nutty presence of almonds—and that amazing crunch… happy sigh. 🙂

The best part?

It’s made with just 3 simple ingredients. And the prep time is 5 minutes, or less! The other best part (yes, there must be more than one!!) is that this 3 ingredient chocolate almond bark recipe makes for such a great gift, just like my 3 Ingredient Chocolate Pecan Fudge. It looks so impressive and like you totally worked on it all day, while also earning your degree in professional chocolatierism.

Recommended Tools for the Best Chocolate Almond Bark

  • Vegan Chocolate Chips: my favorite vegan chocolate chips to date. Dairy-free, soy-free and just the right balance of deep chocolate flavor with enjoyable creaminess.
  • For Paleo-friendly chocolate bark: these Paleo Chocolate Gems are amazing! Refined Sugar-Free, vegan, paleo (of course), dairy-free and simply delicious. I used to chop up this same brand’s paleo chocolate bars, until they came out with these babies. They’re more affordable than the bars and just as delicious.
  • Unsalted, Roasted Almonds: finally! High-quality roasted almonds that I can buy in bulk online. They don’t add any ingredients–and that’s my favorite part. 🙂
  • Glass Mixing Bowls: Perfect for melting chocolate for the best chocolate almond bark.

Bark it Like It’s Hot

I mean, these almond bark recipes are technically hot while the chocolate is melted and ready to go, amiright?

    Impressed about the 88%! Kroger just got their own brand of 72% chocolate chips and I felt uber sophisticated and healthy trying those in recipes instead of semi-sweet. Will definitely make this. Who needs a fancy chocolatier when you can make it at home so easily? I wonder how pistachios would be in this…

    I love nuts and chocolate together! And I adore dark chocolate. I like it much better than milk chocolate. And it’s probably a good thing that more candy bars are milk chocolate and not dark chocolate or I’d be in big trouble. I love how quick, easy and gorgeous your bark recipe is! Almond bark reminds me of my best friend and I can’t wait to make your delightful recipe.
