Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- ½ cup nuts (such as almonds or walnuts, roughly chopped)
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Start by melting the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and glossy.
- While your chocolate melts, chop your dates and nuts. If you’re using shredded coconut, have it ready too.
- Once the chocolate is melted, add in the chopped dates, nuts, and shredded coconut if opted. Stir everything thoroughly until coated in chocolate.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the paper and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the bark to enhance the flavors.
- Place the baking tray in the fridge for about 60 minutes until set.
- Once set, remove the bark from the fridge, peel it off the parchment paper, and break it into pieces of your desired size.
