Review This Recipe

Easy and good

S B from Alamogordo, NM

This recipe was quick and easy, though still good. The sea salt gave it a little 'something extra.' We are in an area that produces pistachio nuts, so I used those and they make a great addition.
sensational

kathleen mellendorf-matriss from Belmar, NJ

The only change I would make is to use almonds that do not have a smokey flavor.
Great

Jan Wilkins from BLYTHEVILLE, AR

Who'da thought it! Great taste with all the flavors together!
so easy and great!

colleen browning from SAN ANTONIO, TX

With dark chocolate and sea salt being so popular, this recipe has been a big rave whenever I make it to share. I have used spiced glazed pecans and it was equally as great.
Sea-SaltedSmoky Almond Chocolate Bark

Carole Finney from HARRISVILLE, OH

The chocolate and salt go together like peanut butter and jelly, however, I do not like smoked almonds, otherswise it was very good.
Great on the road

Julie Voit Yap from Pine Islan, MN

This is so simple to make that I can even make it in my RV and bring it to potluck events. A double batch is always required!
A total hit

Alison Troub from Buckeye, AZ

I made this recipe last year, just to try, my hubby and brother loved it! They have both been asking me if I am making it again this year...the answer, "YES!" I think I'll have to more than double the batch this time and tuck some away for myself.
Delicious!! Easdy and Fast!!

Beth Davis from JACKSONVILLE, FL

My husband only likes Dark Chocolate!! I made this especially for him!!! Now it must become a tradition for our holiday baking!!

Jeanne Dalzell from Easton, PA

I love love LOVE this recipe! Not only is it easy, it's FAST! Not everyone (males, in particular)are keen on the dark chocolate / salty mix, but just about every WOMAN I know can't get enough of these! One word: YUMMY!
WOW

F Frazier from TN

This is the best!!! The bitterness of the chocolate with the sea salt is fantastick!!!!! Everyone I make this for loves it. I will say I toast my own almonds instead of using the smoked almonds.
Wonderful

Sandi Berumen from LAKE ELSINORE, CA

This is great, AND, you get the health benefits of both the dark chocolate and the almonds -- a perfect item to include in those holiday food gift baskets. The fact it is easy to make is all that much better.

Candy for grown ups

fran vandervest from NIAGARA, WI

This was a hit.......I served this with an after dinner wine. It was easy to make and has the look and taste of gourment chocolate.
"wonderfully easy and tasty"

Sudha Hariharan from Markham, ON

It is not only a wonderfully easy recipe to make but also a very tasty chocolate which is also healthy due to the addition of nuts in it.
was a big hit...I think?

Lyn Kennedy from BISMARCK, ND

After making 4 banana cream pies for a birthday party, I decided to try making a double batch of the bark as a filler for those who wouldn't want the pie. Um, I had women fighting over the bark; as in wanting to hoard pieces to take home...the men were a little dubious until they tried it and the kids even thought is was terrific! No leftovers for me. Actually, I have to make another batch so my husband and I can taste it. It's a keeper.....

teacher gift

JM Miller from ELLICOTT CITY, MD

Easy to make. This is a perfect end of year teachers gift, broken up and served in a beautiful box.
We loved it!

Marcia Hacker from MANAHAWKIN, NJ

My husband and I especially like dark chocolate and this recipe is 'to die for'....the combo of dark chocolate with salt would be great without the nuts - but 'bring on the nuts'

WHEN I FIXED THIS FOR MY FAMILY , THEIR RESPONSE WAS ( I DON'T THINK I'LL LIKE THIS) AND THEY LOVED IT. KNOW I MAKE IT ALMOST EVERY SATURDAY, IT IS ANOTHER FAVORITE FORM NESTLES'. AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE TOO.
Tastefully Delicious

Debbye Trueman from FRONT ROYAL, VA

This recipe was easy to make. My husband is a very big fan of dark chocolate and he loved this Sea-Salted Smokey Almond Bark. I was a scared about using the sea salt but it gave it a wonderful and different taste. My husband took some to work to share and they wanted more. I will be making several times this year I'm sure.
Wow!!! Sweet & Salty

C Ellis from MAURICEVILLE, TX

I love dark chocolate so this is perfect. You can get two "fixes" in one- sweet and salty. You just can't go wrong with dark chocolate, nuts and salt all in one combination. I even let my children help make this. This was something different for usual holiday baskets and it was a success!!!!
Great for Christmas

Cindy Papaleo from HOLLEY, NY

I made this recipe over the Holidays and got rave reviews. It was deliciously chocolate and the sea salt added a wonderful tang. Will make again since everyone is requesting it.
okay

Lin Blasch from FaRmInGdaLe, NY

I guess I do not have a sophisticated palate. The chocolate was wonderful! I LOVE dark chocolate. The salt was interesting. The smoked almonds were a distraction and took away from the taste. The recipe was just okay. I am going to try it again with regular almonds and I think we will like that much better.
So Easy/So Good

Deborah Bourque from BELMONT, MA

This was the first recipe I tried using the Nestle Chocolatier. I love dark chocolate with almonds and this recipe had both with a touch of salt. The hardest part of this recipe was giving it enough time to cool in the fridge!
Dark and Salty...what a hit!

KATHY WALSTROM from Glenview, IL

My guests couldn't stop eating it! It was easy, tasty and attractive, what else could you ask for? It will most certainly be on our cookie and candy trays from now on!!

Pauline Johnsey from No. Stratford, NH

This is so easy anyone can do it, and it comes out just the way you want it to. So pretty for a gift, everyone will be asking for your recipe or for you to make it again for them. Just put it on a plate, wrap with wrap and stick a bow on it, all your gifts are done.

Great Treat!

SANDY MASS from ATLANTA, GA

I made this for a family and friends Thanksgiving dinner this year and it was one of the hits of the party! I've already got an order from my Mom. Store was out of bars so I used the morsels instead and it came out fine. Wonderful combination of flavors.
Spectacular, Classy

Nikki Pals from PALATINE, IL

Made these for a family gathering. BIG hit. everyone loved them. On the platter they look and taste like they are more complicated to make than they are. These are EASY. I was unsure if there would be too much salt with the salt on the almonds as well as the sea salt but it was perfect. Ya gotta try these!
Yummy flavor!

Vanessa Barker from Independence, MO

My sister-in-law made a batch for Thanksgiving and I was the official taster. I'm happy to report that this was indeed YUMMY!!

Mary Gates from CAPE CORAL, FL

I've never used sea-salt in a recipe before and since I like to make candy to give as gifts during the holidays this recipe intrigued me. I love it. So easy to make and the balance between sweet/salty is wonderful. I am definitely adding this candy to my list for holiday treats.
Yum! Yum!

Gloria Treichel from Calgary, AB

Fantastic combination fo both sweet and salty. I would never have thought of it but it works. I found that after leaving it mellow overnight the flavour were even better.
Good snack

Martha Schwartz from ANOKA, MN

I liked the salty chocolate flavor it was really different but it was good. I brought it to a football party at my daughters and everyone liked it.
Smoky Almond Bark

SABINE BROOK from ROLLA, MO

Reading the recipe at first, it didn't sound too good. Beeing a sucker for sweets, I had to try it. Pleasant surprise, great taste with minimal effort. The big bonus, DARK CHOCOLATE AND ALMONDS ARE GOOD FOR YOU.
Wow! perfect salty /sweet combo

BRENDA WILL from ROCHESTER, IL

I doubled this and made it for our teachers luncheon... of course after I quality checked it, I decided to make another batch for home.... This will be on my christmas candy trays for sure!

Smoky Almond Chocolate Bark

STEPHANIE SCHNEIDEWIND from LANSING, MI

I was a little skeptical of the smoky almonds . . but this is a very tasty treat. Very nice balance of sweet and salty. Will definitely make again.
sea salt

Elizabeth Eckley from SEBRING, OH

At first I thought sea salt??? then I made this treat it was so easy and so good this is going to be a treat for everyday not just special occasions. I had some really expensive chocolate left over and I used it to make this not sure if that makes a difference but it was really good.
