Maple Sweetened Chocolate Almond Bark
Today's recipe for healthy chocolate almond bark is the ideal edible gift to brighten anyone's day. My version uses wholesome ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and almonds. This recipe has been adapted with several modifications from Oh She Glows' Crazy Good Coconut Oil Chocolate Bark Recipe.
Ingredients
For the roasted almond:
- ½ cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
For the chocolate bark:
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup dried fruit, chopped *I used cranberry and apricot
- 3 tablespoons coconut flakes
Instructions
- To roast the almonds: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread almond over the sheet and drizzle it with maple syrup. Sprinkle it with sea salt. Give it a toss and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool on the counter.
- Spread another baking sheet (or a casserole dish) with parchment paper and set it aside.
- To make the chocolate bark, heat coconut oil in a pan just until it is melted. Transfer it into a bowl. Whisk in the cocoa powder and maple syrup. Mix until smooth.
- Mix in the half of the roasted almond mixture into the chocolate. Spread the mixture onto the sheet. Sprinkle it with the rest of the almonds, dried fruit, and coconut flakes.
- Place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Break the chocolate bark into small pieces and serve.
