Chocolate Almond Bark with Strawberries
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips you can use chocolate chips or about 12 oz of chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup dried strawberries
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place chocolate chips and 1 tsp of coconut oil into a large bowl and melt it in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time stirring in between. Tip: Make sure to heat it on 50% power. It’s very important to not overheat the chocolate or you will cause it to become clumpy and thick. Pour the melted chocolate into the lined baking pan. Spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle freeze-dried strawberries and slivered almonds over the melted chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate chips and 1 tsp coconut oil together in a second bowl. The coconut oil gives the melted chocolate a smooth consistency and delicious flavor.
- Drizzle this mixture over the bark.
- Allow the bark to set and harden. Place in refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Remove it as soon as it’s hardened.
- Break the bark into pieces, eat, and enjoy!
