How to Make Homemade Dark Chocolate Chunky Bars

If you are lazy like me you grab a hunk of Hebert brand 53% dark chocolate, raisins, and roasted salted peanuts, and (toasted almonds) you'll have it made. Ocean State Joblot+Pricerite sells all of these ingredients for a fraction of the cost compared to anywhere else.

Ingredients

• 6 oz dark chocolate (60% or more cocoa chips)
• 1 oz unsweet chocolate roughly chopped
• 2 oz unsalted, roasted peanuts (about ½ cup)
• 2 oz raw, whole almonds chopped (about ½ cup)
• ½ cup raisins
• ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

• Prep a 8 x 8 pan by lining with parchment paper.
• Put both types of chocolate in a microwaveable safe bowl. Heat in microwave for 1 min. Remove and stir with spatula. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until chocolate is almost all melted (about 1-3 more cycles). Stir vigorously with spatula until chocolate is completely melted and very smooth.
• Add nuts and raisins to chocolate and stir to combine.
• Pour chocolate mix into prepared dish and spread out. Chocolate may not fill the entire dish and that's ok. Sprinkle sea salt over top of chocolate.
• Let chocolate rest for about 2 hours, until firm. Cut in to bars and serve. Refrigerate any bars that will be eaten later
