Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw and unsalted nuts I love 1 cup cashews and 1 cup almonds, see note 2
- 1/2 tablespoon raw and unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Drizzle
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F and place the oven rack in the middle position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Don’t skip!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the nuts, pumpkin seeds, honey, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the nuts and seeds are well coated with honey.
- On prepared sheet pan, spread the mixture in a single layer, keeping the nuts close together so they’ll bake and form a bark. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes and pressing the nuts back into an even, close-together layer until they are nicely golden brown.
- Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the chocolate drizzle, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the mixture in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Use a spoon to generously drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled nut mixture until all the chocolate is used. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt flakes before chocolate hardens (see note 1).
- Place the sheet pan in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely. Once firm, break the bark into pieces.

Notes
Note 1: If you choose not to top the bark with sea salt flakes, consider adding a bit more salt to the nut mixture for more flavor.
Note 2: Choose unsalted and raw nuts for this recipe. Roasted or dry-roasted nuts can burn in the oven before the honey sets, and salted nuts might make the bark too salty.
Storage: Store the nut bark in an airtight container in the fridge.
