We've been trying to find ways to incorporate a therapeutic dose (3 TB) of coconut oil into our nutrition daily. This has been a delicious way to help and adds the endorphins of good chocolate. (Don't skimp and use cheap chocolate. This is not a Hershey's bar!)
This is a terrific way to scare off the afternoon munchies.
2 ounces dark chocolate (at least 72% cocoa; bakers chocolate works well)
1 cup coconut oil; raw virgin
handful of coconut flakes
handful of slivered almonds (chopped pecans or walnuts are delicious alternatives)
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
2 TB raw honey (optional)
Melt chocolate and oil in a double boiler over medium heat. Remove from heat and add coconut and almonds. Pour mixture into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
Place pan in freezer for 15 minutes, until solid. Cut into 16-24 squares. Store the bark in the refrigerator.
