Dark Chocolate Coconut Pomegranate Bark

by | Dec 17, 2015

Chocolate bark is the workhorse of homemade holiday gifts.

This fancy chocolate bark recipe is a breeze to make, and it doesn’t require any special equipment. All you have to do is toast some almonds, melt a few cups of chocolate, and spread everything on a baking sheet and top with coconut flakes & fresh pomegranate seeds. Pop it in the freezer for 1 hour, break the bark into pieces, and you’ve got yourself a pile of sweet & juicy chocolate heaven.

Very sophisticated.

Garnet jeweled seeds glisten like rubies over the surface. Chewy bits of coconut are hidden and toasty almonds lay waiting to surprise you with a crunch. Even better, this delightful holiday treat is actually good for you! Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and chemical compounds that have been shown to improve both mood and cognitive health.

Be happy. Be healthy.
