Marble Almond Bark

December 24, 2015

Marble almond bark from Fraiche Nutrition

I have been making this marble almond bark for years, and am so happy to be passing on this easy and glamorous recipe to you!  It is incredibly impressive to add to your cookie platters or to package up in a clear bag with some pretty ribbon for a hostess gift!

Marble almond bark preparation

Now, as easy as this is, there are a couple of lessons that I had to learn the hard way.  For example, patience is a virtue.  Ok, I’m still learning that one.  Do NOT overheat your chocolate.  I have done this so many times.  The second lesson that I learned is that you need to be SO careful about not letting any water, including steam, into your chocolate mixture.  It will cause the chocolate to seize which has happened to me so many times.  There is nothing more frustrating than visiting your chocolate bark the next day and seeing these little oily spots and dry looking surface covering your chocolate.  Seriously.

If you follow the instructions, placing your chocolate over hot but not boiling water and making sure that you take it off of the heat as soon it is melted, you should be good.  Another tip I received is to use a metal stirring spoon versus a wooden one that can retain moisture.  The coconut oil helps prevent the mixture from seizing.  Ok, I said this was easy, right!?

Happy Holidays my friends!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb. good quality semi-sweet chocolate chunks or discs
  • 1.5 lb. good quality white chocolate chunks or discs
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • 4 cups almonds

Directions:

  1. Bring two medium saucepans 1/2 full of water to a simmer.
  2. Heat the oven to 350F.  Toast the almonds on a baking sheet until just fragrant, about 15 minutes.  Set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare two 9×13″ baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Place 3/4 of each of the white and semi-sweet chocolate chunks or discs in two separate glass or stainless steel bowls, add 1 Tbsp. of the coconut oil to each bowl,  and place the bowls over the water.  Be sure that the water is hot but not boiling.
  5. Stir the chocolate with a metal spoon until just melted.  Quickly add the remaining chocolate to each bowl cool down the respective chocolate mixtures, remove from the heat, and stir until the remaining chocolate is melted.
  6. Stir 1/2 of the almonds into each bowl of chocolate.
  7. Ladle piles of the white chocolate mixture in an odd pattern over each parchment-lined baking sheet, and fill in the gaps in between the white chocolate piles with the semi-sweet chocolate mixture.  It can be messy!  Just be sure that the chocolate is touching.
  8. Take a knife and drag it through the piles of chocolate to create a marble or swirl pattern.
  9. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set, and store at room temperature until it is fully set and ready to break.
  10. Break apart and serve!

LAST CALL - ‘Keep it Fraîche’ snack mix is disappearing on the 15th!  It was such a pleasure to partner with @mynakedsnacks on a snack that I am head over heels in love with. 
This is the snack that keeps me fuelled through my crazy busy days!  It’s custom designed with all my favourite trail mix ingredients (helloooo dark chocolate and dried cherries) and available in 3 custom size boxes.
I simply love that the company is locally owned by two kind souls Neil and Riley ... who just had a sweet baby!
Head to the link in my profile to shop and thank you for all of your support for the snack and of course for their company it means the world to me ❤️

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort
