Instructions:

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. Continue until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it out evenly into a thin layer.
4. Sprinkle the mixed nuts generously over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them into the chocolate to ensure they stick.

6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the Easy Bark to chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
