Chocolate Bark with Purple Grapes
Chocolate bejeweled with gems of nutrient-packed grapes— yes, please! This bark is sooo easy to whip up and even easier to devour.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup seedless purple grapes, sliced into quarters
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside—you’ll need this ready to go when the chocolate is melted.
- Melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each round, until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy. (It usually takes 1 to 1½ minutes total.) You can use a double boiler method, too.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the center of your parchment-lined pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an oval or rectangle (it won’t cover the whole sheet—totally fine!).
- Scatter the quartered grapes evenly over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them down with your hands so they set and stick. The goal is for each bite to have juicy pops of grape.
- Carefully place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully hardened. Then, break into rustic pieces and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
• Keep bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. (I love it straight from the freezer!)
• If stacking pieces, separate layers with parchment to prevent sticking. Grape Options:
• Purple grapes bring that resveratrol punch—plus a beautiful color contrast against the dark chocolate. But green grapes work, too. Fun Variations:
• Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts (like pistachios or chopped almonds) for crunch.
• Add a pinch of flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty finish.
• Swap in dried fruit (like cherries, cranberries, or blueberries) if you’re out of fresh grapes.
• Add a little texture with toasted coconut flakes, cacao nibs, or granola crumbles.
