This bark is my go to treat when I want something sweet but keep things simple. It hits that perfect spot for a chocolate craving without needing any flour, butter, or refined sugar.

It is incredibly easy to make because you just melt and stir. My favorite tip is to sprinkle a little sea salt on top right before it sets to really make the chocolate flavor pop.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted almonds or peanuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a small baking sheet or a plate with parchment paper so the bark does not stick.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the cocoa powder into the bowl and stir until you have a thick, uniform chocolate paste.

  4. 4

    Spread the mixture onto your prepared parchment paper into a thin rectangle.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top and press them down gently with your fingers.

  6. 6

    Place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes until it is completely firm.

  7. 7

    Break the bark into irregular pieces and enjoy immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer so it stays firm. If you prefer a softer texture, you can keep it in the fridge for up to one week. Serve this chilled for the best snap.
