Dairy Free Bark Recipe
For this recipe, I used these dairy free chocolate chips which are also nut and soy free. I took a chance that they would melt into a delicious dark chocolate bark, and they performed perfectly.
Happy Valentines Day!

Ooh, these look fantastic. I'm a huge (vegan) marshmallow fan!
FYI, though: Sweet and Sara marshmallows aren't safely gluten-free for those with celiac disease because of cross-contamination. Dandies are, though!

Caramelized almonds?! This is incredible. There's no way this bark would last in my house!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
Ok, I'm not a huge chocolate fan and I think I just drooled. These look incredible and talk about an awesome gift too! And I seriously would not have been shocked to see you pull off chocolate caramelized onions 😉
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef says
The first time I saw the title I read it as caramelized onion and thought you might be nuts. Then I realized it was me.
I love this rocky road bark.
Eileen says
I can't say I would mind either caramelized onions OR almonds! Although I do think you made the right choice for this chocolate bark. 🙂 Looks amazing!

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
As good as this looks... I'm not sure I could save enough of those marshmallows to put in bark. LOL!
