Hazelnut, Pumpkin Seed, and Pistachio Dark Chocolate Bark
- 13 cup whole shelled hazelnuts
- 14 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
- 13 cup shelled green pistachios
- 1 12 cups 61% to 70% chocolate
- 12 teaspoon fleur de sel, in fine grains
- MAKE THE NUTS Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
- Line the bottoms of 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Spread the hazelnuts on one prepared pan.
- Mix the pumpkin seeds and pistachios together and spread them on the second prepared pan.
- Roast the hazelnuts until the skins start to darken and shrivel, about 8 minutes.
- Roast the pumpkin seeds and pistachios until lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the nuts and seeds from the oven.
- As soon as the hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, rub them in batches in a kitchen towel to remove the skins.
- Not every bit will come off.
- Roughly chop all of them and mix together in a bowl.
- MAKE THE BARK Line the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Pour the tempered chocolate into the prepared pan.
- Spread it evenly with a small offset spatula.
- Tap the pan on a work surface to even the top.
- Sprinkle the roasted nuts and seeds and the fleur de sel over the chocolate.
- Tap the pan again to settle the toppings into the chocolate.
- When the chocolate loses its sheen and starts to set, after about 15 minutes, cut the bark with a sharp knife into 2-inch squares or other fanciful shapes of your choice.
- Leave the bark at room temperature until it is completely set, about 1 hour, and then separate the pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, not in the refrigerator.
