There is something about chocolate that tastes so much better when its not making you feel guilty with each bite. I am in love with this recipe which is why this is my second variation of it! If you love this one make sure to check out my Pumpkin Seed Dark Chocolate Bark.. because it is just as delicious. Promise!
The best part about his chocolate is that it is completely dairy free and preservatives free. Oh and very easy to whip up, but you need to freeze it until hard.. I usually leave it in the freezer over night. make sure you make a big batch of this chocolate or you will regret it... I speak from experience...
Salted Almond Dark Chocolate Bark Recipe Ingredients:
- crushed almonds
- coconut oil
- cocoa powder
- pure maple syrup
- pink Himalayan salt (fine grain)
Pretty straight forward ingredients to make this. You do need a freezer for this recipe.. I thought I should mention this because many people do not actually have a freezer, which comes as a shock to me! Ive always had a freezer growing up and had to have one when we bought our house. I thought it was the norm.. but apparently not! Anyways, that is why I thought I should mention it here.
Recipe Success Tips:
- crush your almonds in a ziplock bag. Reduced the mess and you won't lose any of your almond pieces!
- melt your coconut oil in a mug if you prefer to use the microwave... easier to pour into your mixing bowl
- sifting your cocoa powder before adding it to the mixture will ensure your dark chocolate bark is clump free!
This recipe is super versatile and I have seen so many awesome recipes with unique ingredients such as dried fruit, mint leaves or pretzels.
I mean you could probably get away with hiding vegetables in it! Haha!
Speaking of being sneaky about veggies...
The other night I made a big batch of brussel sprouts. Fun fact - brussel sprouts are one of my favourite veggies .. but they are one of Dylan's least favourite. So I thought that if I made a cheese sauce and drenched it over top of the sprouts he would eat them.. and you know what he did instead? He dunked his bread into the cheese sauce and literally licked the cheese off the brussel sprouts and left all of the sprouts on his plate.. Please someone tell me how I can get a 28 year old to consume his greens!
Anyways enough about veggies, let's jump into this chocolate recipe.. because I know that's why you are actually here.
Enjoy this Salted Almond Dark Chocolate Bark recipe!
