Cherry-Almond Dark Chocolate Nut Bark

Adapted from Eating Well's Chocolate Nut Bark

Ingredients
7.33 oz. Trader Joe's 72% Dark Chocolate Pound Plus, chopped
1 t. vanilla extract
1 T. whole milk
1/2 t. instant espresso
1/8 t. orange extract
1/8 t. sea salt
pinch cinnamon
sprinkle cayenne
3/4 c. finely chopped dried fruit, such as cherries
3/4 c. finely chopped toasted nuts, such as almonds

Directions
Line an 9"x9" glass baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix everything except fruit and nuts in a microwave-safe bowl.  To melt chocolate, microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Or place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.
Mix in the fruit and nuts.  Pour into the lined pan, and place another piece of parchment over the top.  Press the mixture into an even layer.  Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.  Transfer the bark and bottom layer of parchment to cutting board and cut into 16 pieces.
