Salted. Chocolate. Chili. Crunch. Wow, that's a mouthful! This is the 2nd treat going into the cookie tins for our neighbors. The smokey dark chocolate bark will be a great contrast to the super sweet chocolate chip cookies that are also going in our cookie tin. t's a perfectly tempered dark chocolate laced with smokey chili powder and crunchy quinoa. Quinoa? Yes! It adds a nice crunchy surprise in this chocolate and we top it all off with flaky sea salt and it's a spiced match made in heaven!

I love the salty, smokey, sweet combo of this bark. Did I mention it's healthy? I chose a 60% dark chocolate and when you pick a chocolate for this make sure its a good one! You want to avoid chocolate chips for this otherwise it won't temper correctly and be fully solid at room temperature. Plus the quinoa is a great source of lean protein. So in the middle of all those cookies you don't have to feel guilty for snacking on this dark chocolate bark.
