Instructions
Make the Bark
- 1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (ensure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl), melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- 3Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick. You can use an offset spatula for this.
- 4Immediately sprinkle the chopped candied ginger and flaky sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate.
- 5Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
- 6Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces by hand or cut with a sharp knife.

Tips
- Ensure your bowl and utensils are completely dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Tempering the chocolate is optional but will yield a glossier finish and a better snap.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at cool room temperature to maintain its texture.
