What's the best to way melt chocolate?

A double boiler is my favorite, but you can also use the microwave. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments. Stirring between each burst will help it melt.

What chocolate is best for making chocolate bark?

A good chocolate that is at least 70% is best. But, dairy-free dark chocolate chips work just as well.

Is chocolate bark really vegan?

Yes, but it all depends on the chocolate so read the ingredients. Remember, the fewer the ingredients the better. HINT: most dark chocolate is vegan, but again, read the label.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl add the nuts, quinoa, and maple syrup and stir until well combined. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips over low heat. Stir frequently to ensure the chocolate doesn’t burn.
Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the roasted nuts and quinoa. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Sprinkle any desired toppings (nuts, seeds, dried fruit, coconut, sea salt) on top of the chocolate, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Once the chocolate is hardened, break the bark into small pieces and enjoy.
