Step by step instructions

1. Choose ingredients and prep everything. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. And find a large stockpot and a medium bowl that fits into the pot while also resting on the edge. Having everything ready will ensure that you can temper your chocolate with ease and that your perfectly tempered chocolate doesn’t harden before you add in all the goods.
2. Temper chocolate. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a simmer. When the water is simmering turn off the heat and place ⅔ of your dark chocolate in the bowl. Place bowl in the pot so the bottom is resting in the water but no water escapes over the edge. If you get even a drop of water in your chocolate it will seize and you’ll have to start over. Once the bowl is over the warm water let it sit uncovered. Do not stir. When it is about ¾ melted gently stir until it is completely melted and remove from the water bath. Then slowly and gently stir remaining ⅓ chocolate into the melted chocolate until it’s completely melted.

3. Pour chocolate into the prepared lined sheet pan. Immediately sprinkle all ingredients over top.

4. Leave out at room temperature to cool. Then break into pieces.

3. Enjoy!
