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.

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.

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!

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!
