Hello lovely people! I want to share with you this yummy and super easy dark chocolate bark I made for teacher gifts for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate bark is my go-to DIY gift for any time of year. Anyone can make this and the flavors are endless. My secret to chocolate bark success is to add something crunchy like nuts, something salty and something sweet or floral. It should taste amazing and be visually stunning.
For this Valentine’s Day inspired version I added pistachios, edible wild rose petals that I foraged and dried, and wild rose fleur de sel finishing salt that I made, plus some orange zest because it goes so well with chocolate (I always add it). You can use any dried rose petals and any typeof finishing salt like a flaky sea salt for example.
Check out the short how-to video in the recipe card below.

Easy Vegan Pistachio Rose Dark Chocolate Bark Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz. dark chocolate 70% couverture
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios raw or toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 2 teaspoons crushed dried rose petals
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. Make your own double boiler by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water and make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. If using a bar of chocolate, chop it up into pieces first.
- Pour melted chocolate over parchment paper or wax paper and spread and smooth it out to 1/4" thickness with a rubber spatula.
- Sprinkle the top of the chocolate evenly with pistachios, rose petals, salt and orange zest.
- Allow the chocolate bark to firm up and set at room temperature.
- Once chocolate has set, cut into squares and serve or package to give as gifts. Enjoy!

Notes
- You could go through the trouble of tempering the chocolate if you want it to retain a high sheen when it cools. To temper chocolate melt 3/4 of the total quantity then take it off the heat and add in remaining 1/4 of the chocolate. Stir it constantly until it melts and gets thick. Then return to heat, stirring until it is smooth and shiny (this part should be very quick).
- Chocolate bark will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 weeks.
