IN THIS POST: Everything you need to make this Healthy Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- coconut oil
- honey – maple syrup works too
- almond butter – chunky is the best!
- cacao powder – or cocoa powder
- shredded coconut – unsweetened
- vanilla
- sea salt
Instructions
First, start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, lightly melt the coconut oil. I do this over low heat on the stove. It takes less than a minute.
Then, in a large bowl, stir all ingredients together and mix until silky smooth.
Finally, pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it as evenly as possible.
Using a rubber spatula makes this easy.
Pop it into the freezer for 20 minutes or so for it to set.
Once it comes out of the freezer you can neatly cut it into squares or go rogue and break it into pieces.
That is the fun of chocolate bark recipes.
This chocolate almond bark recipe is amazingly delicious. The one drawback is that it is not really a portable item. This bark will melt at room temperature so please make sure you keep it in the freezer.
It’s too bad because this is one you will want to share! Truly, even the pickiest of eaters won’t believe this chocolate is good for you. Maybe don’t even tell them. Why burst their bubble?
