Date Bark Recipe
This Date Bark Recipe is basically a healthy candy bar. It's gooey, chocolatey, crunchy, sweet and salty. No wonder it's a viral recipe on social media!
Ingredients
- 12 medjool dates - Use medjool dates and not other varieties because they are soft and will create that caramel-like flavor and texture.
- ¼ cup creamy almond butter - Make sure it's drippy and spreadable.
- 3 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips - I used no sugar added dark chocolate chips.
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments to ensure the chocolate does not burn. (Example: Microwave for 30 seconds, stir the chocolate and then place back into the microwave.) Repeat this until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Open each date, remove the pit and press them open side down on the parchment paper. Line the dates up in a 3x4 square. Be sure to overlap the dates and press each one down very well.
- Spread almond butter all over the top of the date square. Add chopped almonds and shredded coconut. Drizzle and spread the melted chocolate over the top. Lastly, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for at least one hour or until the chocolate has hardened. Cut the bark into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
