Ingredients
1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao for a healthier option)
½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut (for natural sweetness and texture)
⅓ cup chopped almonds (or substitute with pecans or walnuts)
¼ cup dried cranberries (or your favorite dried fruit)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (to make the chocolate smoother and shinier)
Pinch of sea salt (enhances the flavors)
Directions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Spread the Base: Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment-lined sheet. Spread into an even layer using a spatula (about ¼ inch thick).
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded coconut, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and sea salt evenly over the chocolate.
- Set the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for 30–40 minutes, until the bark is fully hardened.
- Break Into Pieces: Once set, remove from the fridge and break into uneven pieces using your hands.
- Store and Serve: Store in an airtight container in a cool place or fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Serve as a dessert with a cup of warm holiday tea or coffee.
