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

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