12 oz (340 g) good bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips (around 60% cocoa)2 Tbsp infused coconut oil, carrying 80 mg THC total¾ cup raw nuts or seeds — almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios, pepitas¼ cup dried cranberries, cherries, chopped apricots or candied ginger½ tsp flaky sea salt, optional
Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Line an 8″ square pan with parchment, pressing it into the corners and leaving an overhang.
- If you want toasted nuts, warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant, then tip them out and chop roughly. Let them cool completely — hot nuts will seize the chocolate.
- Soften the infused coconut oil to a liquid at the lowest possible heat and set it aside; it should be barely warm to the touch.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, and stop while a few lumps remain — the residual warmth finishes the job as you stir. A heatproof bowl over barely simmering water works equally well.
- Pour the infused coconut oil into the melted chocolate and stir slowly for a full minute, scraping the sides and base, until the mixture is glossy and completely homogeneous. Do not rush this: the whole dose lives in those two tablespoons.
- Scrape into the lined pan and spread to an even thickness, tapping the pan on the counter to level it. Even thickness equals even dose, so check the corners.
- Scatter the nuts, then the dried fruit, and crumble the flaky salt over the top. Press the toppings lightly into the chocolate with your palm so they anchor.
- Chill flat in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, until fully firm.
- Lift the slab out, trim the edges square with a warm knife, then cut a 4×4 grid for 16 squares. Because of the added oil these stay softer than ordinary bark — store them in the fridge in a sealed box and serve cold.
