Dark Chocolate Bark

Dark Chocolate Bark
Chocolate and desserts are in the air. Certainly the spreading of love (and some healthy dark chocolate) should not be relegated to only certain holidays per year, but we hear about it a lot this month.Fortunately, unlike cookies, ice cream and some other sweet treats, chocolate is one you CAN enjoy pretty guilt-free. This recipe is very simple to make and you can share the love and chocolate with friends and a special “someone” without a lot of time in the kitchen. While this recipe suggests a microwave, you can definitely melt the chocolate and coconut oil on your stove top. A double boiler would be best, but if you don’t have one simply melt it on very low heat and stir pretty constantly until the chips have melted into the oil and is fully combined. The dried strawberries is a method of bringing in some “red” in honor of the holiday, but you could use raspberries or even blueberries (for a boy!). Please let us know how you enjoy it!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 oz package of Lily’s stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips

  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried organic strawberries or raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp organic coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
