Pecans have similar texture and flavor.

dried apricots

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: butter

Butter gives a similar richness.

Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water to melt the chocolate.

Add 16 oz of dark chocolate to the bowl and stir carefully to prevent water from getting in.

Once melted, remove from heat and continue stirring until no chunks remain.

Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 cup of chopped dried apricots to the melted chocolate and mix well.

Spread the mixture onto buttered parchment paper on a cookie sheet, aiming for a thin layer.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set.

Once firm, break the bark into pieces and serve.
