Chocolate bark with smoked almonds and dried figs

Ingredients:

• 450 g dark chocolate
• 1/2 tbsp. coarsely chopped smoked almonds
• 1/2 cup sliced ​​dried figs
• Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil (shiny side up). Smooth out any wrinkles. Make sure the utensils are dry.
2. Using a large knife, chop the chocolate into 1-centimeter pieces. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and place the rest in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir with a silicone spatula. Repeat until melted (3-5 minutes total). Immediately add the reserved chopped chocolate to the bowl. Stir vigorously until smooth and shiny.
3. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone spatula to spread the mixture into a circle 25–30 cm in diameter and approximately 0.5 cm thick.
4. Press the figs and almonds into the chocolate, ensuring each serving has a unique combination of fruit and nut flavor and texture. Sprinkle with sea salt. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. (If the room is too warm, you can place it in the freezer for a few minutes.) Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 weeks.
