Easy, No-Bake Chocolate Bark Recipe

My go-to ‘healthy’ sweet treat with nutrient-dense nuts and berries

I stumbled across this recipe right after I had my second child and was looking for a sweet treat that also supported my recovery. I had AI generate a meal plan based on my needs (breastfeeding, minimize gas, C-section). It was full of nuts and dried fruit, which offer nutrients that support tissue repair, boost energy, and many other benefits. That gave me the idea for a chocolate bark filled with these healthy ingredients. And voilà, this recipe was born.

A Few Recipe Notes 

  • Dark chocolate is essential for this recipe to be considered healthy. Any high-quality dark chocolate will do. I buy the 72% cacao dark chocolate from Trader Joe’s because it’s the most readily available and reasonably priced.

  • I wrote out the recipe so you can see the ingredients and steps, but after you make it once, you can really just wing it.

  • There’s so much flexibility with this recipe; any combination of nuts and dried fruit will work. Or go wild and experiment with other ingredients.

 

Flavor variations

  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cayenne pepper 

  • Mix in toasted coconut flakes, orange zest, or chopped candied pecans into the chocolate before pouring 

  • Vday mix: dried rose petals, goji berries, crushed freeze dried raspberry, dried cherries

  • Tropical mix: macadamia nuts, toasted coconut flakes, dried pineapple or mango

  • Snack mix: pretzel, crushed chips, M&Ms
