I have been seeing different versions of chocolate bark trending everywhere on social media—and for good reason. It’s one of the easiest, prettiest “no real baking required” desserts you can make, and it feels fancy even though it takes pretty much zero effort.
This Chocolate Berry Bark is the perfect viral-style treat: rich dark chocolate, juicy raspberries and blueberries, toasted almonds for crunch, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to make the flavor pop. It’s sweet, slightly tart, crunchy, and totally snackable. Plus, it looks gorgeous on a platter—like something you’d pay way too much for at a fancy chocolate shop (like our chocolate dipped Ritz marshmallow Reeses!)
The best part? You only need a few ingredients, a microwave, and about 10 minutes of hands-on time. After that, the fridge (or freezer) does the rest.
Why I Love This Chocolate Berry Bark
- It’s viral-worthy and gorgeous (hello, colorful berries!).
- There is absolutely no baking required—just melt, spread, top, and chill.
- It’s the perfect mix of sweet, tart and crunchy.
- Chocolate berry bark is great for snacking, gifting, and dessert boards.
- It’s easy to customize with whatever you have on hand.
- And it stores well in the fridge or freezer.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Dark chocolate chips – rich, not too sweet, and the perfect base
- Coconut oil – helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a glossy finish
- Fresh Raspberries – tart and juicy (whole or halved)
- Fresh Blueberries – sweet little bursts of flavor
- Toasted slivered almonds – crunchy and nutty (toasting makes a big difference!)
- Flaky sea salt – optional, but highly recommended for that sweet-salty magic
How to Make Chocolate Berry Bark
This is one of those recipes that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate into a rectangle on the parchment paper.
- Top with raspberries, blueberries, and toasted almonds. Press lightly so everything sticks.
- Pipe extra chocolate over the top (optional but makes it look extra fancy and keeps all of the toppings in place).
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Chill until firm, then break into pieces or cut into neat squares.
Tips for the Best Viral Chocolate Bark
- Use dry berries! Pat them dry with paper towels. Water can make chocolate seize or cause condensation later.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. Microwave in short bursts and stir often.
- Toast the almonds for best flavor. To toast slivered or sliced almonds, spread them on a dry baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring once. You can also add them to a dry skillet and heat them over medium heat, stirring until lightly browned. Watch closely—they brown quickly!
- Press the toppings in gently so they don’t fall off when you break the bark.
- For cleaner pieces, cut the bark instead of breaking it (use a sharp knife).
Storage Tips
Chocolate bark stores really well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can store it up to 2 months in the freezer (great for grab-and-go treats).
Tip: If stacking pieces, place parchment between layers so they don’t stick together.
Fun Variations (Make It Your Own!)
- Use strawberries (thinly sliced) instead of raspberries
- Use white chocolate with the berries (super pretty). Or use a white chocolate drizzle just on top!
- Add freeze-dried strawberries for extra crunch.
- Swap almonds for pistachios or chopped pecans.
- Add shredded coconut.
- Add mini chocolate chips or crushed pretzels.

Chocolate Berry Bark
Ingredients
- 10 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries (whole or cut in half)
- ¾ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup slivered or sliced almonds, toasted (see notes below)
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a glass bowl. Microwave in short bursts until the chocolate has melted and stir until smooth.
- Pour most of the chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it into a rectangle. Top the chocolate with raspberries, blueberries and almonds. Press down lightly with your hands to adhere.
- Scrape the rest of the chocolate into a zip baggie or small piping bag. Snip the corner of the baggie and pipe more chocolate across the top of the berries. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
- Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer to set the chocolate. Once set, you can take it out and break the big piece of chocolate bark into smaller chunks. Alternately, you can cut it into neat pieces. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- Be sure to pat the berries dry before adding them to the chocolate so excess moisture doesn’t affect the texture.
- Toasting the almonds adds extra crunch and flavor.
- Store bark in the refrigerator or freezer and place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
