Fall Chocolate Bark will carry you through the holiday season and will satisfy your sweet tooth with decadent chocolate paired with salty, nutty and sweet flavors.
The hustle and bustle of the Fall season has my kitchen full of baking, gifting, and getting ready to entertain! I love this time of year, but sometimes the pressure of fancy and overdone takes away the joy that this season brings! Fall Chocolate Bark is just right for all your holiday needs. Turn off your ovens, there is no baking required, it takes just a few short minutes to throw together and it is so rich and flavorful that you will be proud to share this with your friends and family! 
Fall Chocolate Bark gives you all that your taste buds long for; sweet, salty and loaded with crunch. It is easy to throw together for a week night, enjoyed with a glass of wine or can be packaged up for the perfect hostess gift. Whether you love dark chocolate or semisweet, choose a chocolate that is high quality because this is what holds the bark together. Once you have chosen your chocolate, a combination of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, caramel and pretzels are on the top of my list for the perfect chocolate bark. You can throw them all into one or separate to make three seasonal Fall Chocolate Bark recipes!
