Dark Chocolate Pistachio Bark

Phase 2

Makes 40 pieces

This bark is made with dark chocolate, which is not only delicious, but has healthy antioxidants, too! It's also studded with pistachios, which add a nice crunch as well as a dose of healthy fats.

Ingredients
12 squares semisweet chocolate
1 cup pistachio nuts, shelled and toasted

Instructions
Microwave the chocolate in a bowl on high for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until completely melted. Stir the nuts into the chocolate. Spoon the chocolate and nut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Makes 1 pound — about 40 pieces. Enjoy one piece as a treat, or bag the bark pieces and tie with festive ribbons to dole out to co-workers and friends!
