Chocolate. Where are all my chocolate lovers? I know you are out there. So, how about some homemade chocolate almond bark?
This recipe takes just a few ingredients and little time. I love how easy it is to make and how tasty it is. It’s especially fun to customize the flavor – Chocolate Mint? Chocolate Coconut? Chocolate Chai? Whatever you choose. The sky is not the limit with this delicious chocolate.
Recently, I took my chocolate to the next level by adding some organic almonds to make a scrumptious chocolate almond bark.
Homemade Chocolate Almond Bark
Chocolate Almond Bark
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup liquid sweetener (honey, maple syrup or coconut syrup)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (liquid form)
- 1/2 cup coconut butter (liquid form)
- 1/2 cup organic almonds
- 1 Tbsp vanilla flavour
Instructions
- Make sure your coconut oil and coconut butter are in a liquid state. You can slightly heat them on very low on the stove-top.
- Add the oil, butter and cacao powder in a mixing bowl and stir.
- Add the liquid sweetener and vanilla flavor. Stir.
- Now mix in the almonds.
- Pour the chocolate and almond mixture in a 9 x 9 glass square dish.
- Place in the freezer for about an hour.
- Once the chocolate is hard, take it out of the freezer and break into pieces. Either put the chocolate bark back in the freezer or place in the fridge.
- If you leave the chocolate at room temperature too long it will become slightly soft because of the coconut oil.
Notes
Substitute the almonds for any nut or add in some dried fruit.
You can use only coconut oil in the recipe, if you don't have coconut butter.
You can easily double the recipe. I did it the second time around making it.
Add any flavor of extract for the recipe, such as mint.
