6 Ingredient - Raw Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bark
WARNING! This recipe is DANGEROUSLY GOOD! If you love chocolate, you will love this treat!
The recipe says 6 ingredients (because that's what I chose) but if you prefer 3, 6 or 8, that's fine too.
Get creative, use your favorite spices and ingredients you love. Enjoy a healthier sugar free, dairy free option without compromising flavor!
Here's what you'll need.....
½ cup of melted organic coconut oil
¼ cup organic maple syrup
½ cup organic cacao powder**
¼ chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts, pecans) etc.
½ cup total of combined dried fruits, berries, seeds, coconut etc.
Putting it together....
Mix coconut oil and maple syrup in a bowl. Add cacao powder, mix thoroughly.
Pour mixture onto sheet of parchment or wax paper in a lined 8x8 pan. Sprinkle with fruit and nuts (OR if you prefer, mix fruit into chocolate mixture and pour into pan)
Place in freezer for 30 minutes to set. Remove from pan and cut into squares or roughly break apart. ENJOY!
**Cacao powder is made from cacao beans that are milled at a low temperature. They aren't over-processed or have additives that cocoa powder does. Cacao powder preserves the original nutrients of the plant, and offer several different health benefits including high antioxidant content. It is a much better tasting and healthier option than cocoa powder.
