Super Food Chocolate Bark

It was one random night in December... we were out of chocolate. I usually always have dark chocolate bars in the house (Chocolove 77 percent is my favorite). But, we were out. Yep. So it was either- have no chocolate. OR DO SOMETHING. 

...And I did something. And since then- things have never been the same. I now do not rely on having chocolate bars in the house- when it's this easy & this good to make your own.
3 ingredients for the base of this recipe:

Cacao powder
Coconut oil
Chocolate chips
Agave or sweetener of choice

*Obviously I add the other fun stuff, nuts & seeds, etc- but the base of this is the most important part- because, duh. Chocolate.

Do you have those items? If you do, get ready to go make this!

Super Food Chocolate Bark

Recipe by: The Daily Kale

​

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup cacao powder
• 1-2 tbsp agave or maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70 percent or higher)
• Pinch of salt

TOPPINGS
*optional* (add whatever you like!)

• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Pumpkin seeds
• Peanut butter or almond butter or toasted coconut butter
• Toasted coconut (highly recommend not skipping this)

 

1. I make a make shift double boiler. If you have one, by all means use it. But what I do is heat about 1 cup of water in a pot on the stove. Mix all above ingredients together in a metal bowl. Once the water is boiling I carefully put the bowl over the pot and let all ingredients melt while I'm stirring it. Soon you will have the creamiest, dreamy chocolate sauce.
2. Set aside the melted chocolate sauce. With a paper towel I spread coconut oil lightly in a small square pan- I used the tray that came with my waffle maker. It's a non stick tray. I'm not fancy. Use anything you can find that'll work! Pour the chocolate sauce into the pan. Making sure it fills out the pan completely. 
3. Sprinkle in all your 'extra' ingredients. Whatever you want! 
4. Place in freezer for 30 minutes to set.
5. Once it's set, cut with a pizza cutter into squares. Enjoy your own homemade chocolate bark.

*I store this in my freezer in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks.
