Description
This rich and easy-to-make dark chocolate bark satisfies sweet cravings while nourishing your body with antioxidants and fiber!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups (225g) 70% or higher chocolate chips or chocolate bar *see note
- 4 large Medjool dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup (25g) sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup (25g) pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 tsp flaky salt
Instructions
- Line an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper. Use binder clips to help secure the sides.
- Set a pot of water on the stove over high heat and allow the water to boil.
- Place the chocolate in a glass or metal bowl and place it on top of the pot of boiling water. Make sure the water isn’t touching the chocolate bowl directly. We just want the hot steam to hit the chocolate bowl to help the chocolate melt.
- Stir the chocolate with a whisk until it’s melted and smooth.
- Pour three quarters of the melted chocolate into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out into a thin layer, evenly across the pan using a spatula, spoon or offset spatula.
- Sprinkle the chopped dates, sliced almonds, and pumpkin seeds evenly over the top of the chocolate in the pan.
- Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the fruit, nuts and seeds in a zigzag pattern, helping to lock in all the goodies.
- Sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly on top of the bark while the chocolate is still wet to help it adhere.
- Let the chocolate bark cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so that the chocolate fully sets and can easily be cut.
- Once the chocolate is set, remove the bark from the pan by lifting up on the sides of the parchment and place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the bark into smaller pieces, based on your desired size of bark.
- Store the bark in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If using chocolate bars in this recipe instead of chips, be sure to chop them before adding to the double boiler so that they melt more evenly
