This chocolate coconut bark has been my go-to when I want a sweet, bitter, crunchy and salty chocolatey bite. Since I am allergic to soy (which is in most conventional chocolate) its been a LONG TIME since I ate a bar of chocolate. There's some chocolate bars I like from Whole Foods (for like $5 a bar) but I much rather make this with simple pantry staples any time... especially when it's that time of the month and I am feening for chocolate. Literally, like the ONLY time I want chocolate. But nevertheless, this recipe takes about 5 minutes to put together, freezes and sets in about 20, and may be devoured by you and your household quicker than it took to make it.

I've made this recipe time and time again over the years, but I knew I had to get the measurements down for my girls looking for something to satisfy that sweet tooth! Every weekend when my boyfriend meal preps for his work week, I like to make him a healthy dessert to take to the office to get him through his long days at work. I was swamped in front of the computer all weekend and realized late Saturday night that I didn't bake him anything! I remembered I had all the essentials to put together this chocolate bark so I quickly mixed it up and set it in the freezer in no time. He came out of the shower and was looking for something sweet and luckily it just had finished setting. I saw him take a bite and his eyes rolled back out of enjoyment (he's hard to please) and it was so gratifying knowing that it was made with such pure ingredients and he thought it tasted better than any other bar he's tried. Naturally, he shares my treats with the guys in the office this week to show me and my skills off 😏 and this one was SUCH A HIT that I had to get it up and posted for you! One of his co-workers wanted to put an "order in" with me, so I made another batch and got the measurements for ya!

Make sure you keep these in the refrigerator or freezer, as it will melt at room temperature!

Feel free to modify any add-ins to your tastebuds! You an add freeze-dried fruit like cranberries, berries or cherries, fresh fruit like chopped apples or grapes or skip the add-in's all together for a rich and chocolatey treat. If you like the taste of milk chocolate but want to keep it dairy-free, add a splash of oat milk or other non-dairy beverage to make it creamier. The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy!
