Looking for a fabulous homemade Christmas gift? Here it is and it is easy! This recipe starts with dark chocolate that brings that bold, slightly bitter backbone we love in Mexican-inspired treats, but we are adding in a handful of semi-sweet chips to soften the edge adding just the right touch of sweetness for a smoother, more balanced bark. Then comes the magic ingredient: sea salt. A sprinkle of flaky salt doesn’t just sit on top looking pretty it actually wakes up the deeper cocoa notes, sharpens the contrast between sweet and bitter, and makes every flavor pop with more intensity. And the pepitas? They’re more than just a crunchy topping. Pepitas add an earthy, nutty richness that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and spice, giving each bite texture, balance, and a little nod to traditional Mexican flavors. Together, the sweetness, salt, and crunch create a layered chocolate bark that feels both elevated and irresistibly snackable.
Use a 9x13 baking pan and preferably a silicone baking mat but parchment paper will work but may slip a bit so use a bit of tape to secure it. Place it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips and Tomahawk in a double boiler, stirring frequently until completely smooth. You do not need to melt the chocolate first.
Remove the pan from the freezer and using a silicone spatula spread the chocolate on the pan. Don’t worry about it being perfectly even. You will break it apart so no need.
Sprinkle with sea salt and pepitas.
Place in refrigerator for at least an hour. Remove and break it up.
Recipe Note
Double boiler works best for this. If you don't have one make your own using a glass bowl. The water should be steeping, not boiling.
If you do not have a silicone baking sheet tape your parchment paper down with painters tape.
We ordered the sampler pack and literally put them on everything, minus ice cream! So flavorful and it’s a small business, we love to support small businesses. ORDER NOW❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! You should try our coffee rub as well. It is fabulous on a steak but also cauliflower steaks, brussel sprouts and as a carrot glaze.
The best thing to happen to our family dinners. Found them at a local outdoor market/fair and decided to try them out. That was almost a year ago and we've been reordering for ourselves, purchasing as gifts for friends, and sending in supply packages to our daughter in college. It elevates EVERYTHING it goes in. There arent a lot of things we don't use both the salt and pepper for now, but if you have to prioritize and only get one....get the pepper. Get 12. Stock up. Trust us.
I received a gift of Tomahawk Pork Chops and used Warriors Blend as a rub. It was phenomenal! I have also used it on grilled salmon to rave reviews. I bought a second jar for my son-in-law who is just starting his grilling journey - guaranteed to be successful cook with this secret weapon.
