Ingredients

  • 8 oz Dark Chocolate (2-4 chocolate bars, at least 70% cacao)

  • 1 cup Pomegranate Seeds

  • 1/2 cup Pistachios (shelled & chopped)

  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Instructions

Prep: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare the pistachios, pomegranate seeds, & coconut flakes and place in separate bowls.

  1. Fill a large pan with water and place a smaller metal bowl inside or use a double boiler. Bring to a boil then reduce to the lowest heat. Be sure no water can escape into the smaller bowl.
  2. Chop or break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place it in the smaller bowl. Stir continuously until melted. Remove from heat immediately once melted. Be careful not to overheat, may cause lumpiness.
  3. Spread the warm chocolate onto the baking sheet. Use a spatula to smooth into an even layer, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Be ready to immediately sprinkle the pomegranate seeds evenly over top, followed by the pistachios, and lastly the coconut. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for 20-30 minutes, or until firm. Once the chocolate is firm, break or cut it into pieces. Enjoy!
