Some desserts are more than just a treat—they’re memories infused with a little magic. For Camilla Marcus, this dark chocolate bark is exactly that: a nostalgic yet grown-up indulgence.
“I grew up with Rocky Mountain Chocolate, as my dad is originally from Denver, Colorado. Especially during the winter, it was our treat,” Marcus recalls. “My parents’ favorite was dark chocolate bark, often with almonds, but sometimes different combinations depending on the season. Back then, it felt too grown-up for me, especially compared to chocolate-dipped honeycomb.”
Her version is a grown-up ode to those memories—floral, nutrient-packed, and packed with flavor. Rich dark chocolate meets bee pollen (a superfood powerhouse), rose petals, and flaky Himalayan or Maldon salt, balancing floral, sweet, and salty notes in every bite. It’s elegant enough for a gathering yet simple enough for a weeknight treat.
Camilla’s Tips for Perfect Chocolate Bark
- Get creative with toppings: Choose anything small, sprinkleable, and crunchy for added texture.
- Make it a fun activity: Breaking chocolate bark is more playful than cutting cake—invest in a mallet and let your guests smash their own pieces.
- Presentation matters: This simple dessert transforms into a centerpiece, effortlessly impressing friends and family.
Whether for a cozy night in or a festive gathering, this Rose Dark Chocolate Bark hits all the right notes: floral, salty, and wonderfully crunchy.
