- 9 oz (280 g) dark chocolate (bars, chips, or chunks)
- 1⁄2 cup (2 oz/60 g) crushed unsalted pistachios
- 2 tablespoons crushed dried rose petals
- 1⁄4 cup (1 oz/30 g) chopped walnuts
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If you are using chocolate bars, break them into small pieces. Put the chocolate in the top pan of a double boiler over (not touching) simmering water and heat, stirring often with a heat-resistant spatula, until melted and smooth. Let cool for 3 minutes.
- Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the pistachios, rose petals, and walnuts evenly over the chocolate. Place the baking sheet on a level shelf in the fridge until the bark is completely cooled and hardened, about 2 hours. The bark can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, carefully peel the bark off the parchment paper, place it on a wooden board, and break it into pieces with a wooden mallet, or break it up with your hands. Place in a serving dish.
