This is a great recipe for the sweet tooth or to put a bow on for a hostess gift. Finish with Vanilla Bean Sea Salt and you have a quick treat.
Ingredients
-
6 oz White Chocolate Chips
-
11.5 oz Extra Dark Chocolate
-
1 Tbsp Blood Orange Olive Oil
-
½ cup Almonds, chopped
-
Vanilla Bean Sea Salt, to finish
Directions
Prepare 1 baking sheet by lining with a piece of parchment paper.
Fill a large pot half full with water. Place the white chocolate chips in one mason jar and the dark chocolate chips in a second along with the Blood Orange Olive Oil. Set the mason jars in the pot of water so they can melt, stirring occasionally.
Once the dark chocolate is melted, add the chopped almonds and stir. Pour evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate atop the dark chocolate in a decorative pattern. Finish with an even sprinkling of vanilla bean sea salt.
Set aside to cool or refrigerate if in a hurry. Once cool, break into pieces and enjoy!

Jean,
The mason jars are used like a double boiler system so you can melt both chocolates at the same time and don’t need to use two pots or cook two batches and then have the chocolate harden up before you can swirl them together. You can absolutely use the microwave to melt the chocolate if that’s easier for you! With a double boiler the addition of olive oil isn’t necessary- in this recipe its adds the blood orange flavor and some more creaminess, but if you’re struggling with melting the chocolate it may have just gotten too hot and seized up. Try lowering the heat on the water to a more gentle simmer than a roaring boil. I hope these tips helped!

Regardless of how easy this recipe appeared, I had issues. The way the recipe reads, it looks like I should only add 1 tblsp of the blood orange oil to the dark chocolate and nothing to the white chocolate. The dark came out great, but the white would not melt down properly. Was I suppose to add some of the oil to the white as well? I ended up just melting more in the microwave and then it came out great. Also, not sure why you said to put in mason jars in water. I think the microwave works way better and a lot less mess and waste.
