Finding sweets and desserts that don’t break your energy budget can be difficult, but this chocolate bark is amazing!
It is a great alternative to off-the-shelf chocolate bars and you can flavour it any way you want. You could do a cherry ripe version adding some cherries and coconut, a snickers version adding some more nuts and sugar-free golden syrup, or just stick with the original chocolate bark recipe below. Give it a try and then post it on Instagram and tag us @fuelyourlifeaus and we will reshare it!
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- ¼ cup roasted walnuts, chopped roughly
- 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon goji berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Method:
- Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium.
- Place a medium bowl on top of the saucepan and break the chocolate into a bowl. (The bowl should be slightly larger than the saucepan, so it sits just on top and doesn’t touch the water.)
- Melt chocolate over the heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat.
- Line a medium baking tray and pour melted chocolate over. Use the spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the tray.
- Sprinkle walnuts, peanuts, goji berries and chia seeds on top.
- Place in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
- Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into pieces and enjoy!
