Healthy Chocolate Bark
Healthy desserts > not healthy desserts. I do love a classic dessert, but on the day-to-day, a healthy dessert is what we need. This healthy chocolate bark is so tasty and smooth; the pumpkin seeds and dates together are a 10/10. I also added a swirl of peanut butter never hurt anyone.
Healthy Desserts at the Table
Brit’s Table is rolling out some healthy desserts, starting with this Dark Chocolate Bark. This is great because it is easy to make and keep around, so you’re not tempted by the junk.
I think when trying to change your diet it is great to add in healthy versions of maybe the not-so-healthy things you love. Say you are a chocolate fanatic, this is a great, easy recipe for you because you will have something healthier on hand when you may be craving sometimes!

What You Will Need
- Parchment Paper – This is so you can easily get the chocolate off. Comes off like butter.
- Quality Dark Chocolate – I am going to link my favorite chocolate that I always use! Here it is! It is made with coconut sugar and straight cacao. Very good.
We love a straight forward dessert recipe
I am all for complicated recipes, I love a challenge and to try something new and exciting. However, it’s nice to just make something and go. This is exactly that. The most important thing to remember is the quality of ingerdients.
Quality chocolate, organic seeds, dates, dried fruit and nuts. When making a healthier dessert option it’s best, to always focus on the quality of ingredients.
The recipe:
Ingredients:
- Dark Chocolate – Use as much as feels right for you, depending on how much you want to make.
- Coconut Oil – I use virgin and organic coconut oil.
- Choice of Toppings – I used dates, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, and sea salt.
I think this recipe is great for seed cycling. It can be a good way to add the seeds into the chocolate or as a topping! I am going to be writing about my experience with seed cycling.
Method:
- First, you are going to put your chocolate and coconut oil in, and then you have two options.
-You can boil water and put the bowl over the water, heat and stir consistently. This will heat the chocolate.
-The next option is to microwave the bowl of chocolate for 15-20 seconds at a time and stir in between. - Next, you will spread your melted chocolate evenly-ish onto your parchment paper. Be sure not to make it too thin!
- While the chocolate is still warm, you want to add all the toppings to make sure they stick.
- Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes or when you’re ready to eat it.
- When the bark is sufficiently frozen, take it out and break it apart with your hands.
- You can store it in an airtight container in the freezer and enjoy it whenever you like.
This is really one of the easiest, healthiest desserts you can make in a pinch. I make this one all the time and it’s a great way to get your sweet fix without affecting your health goals.
