RECIPE + WORDS: Lu | nutritional health coach

Ingredients:

  • 200 g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 1 heaped tbsp almond butter
  • 1/2 cup mixed chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup pepita seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup goji berries
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried figs
  • Optional: A sprinkle of bee pollen and sea salt (highly recommended)

Instructions:

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Stir in the almond butter until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Line a loaf tin or baking tray with baking paper. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared tin and spread it evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped nuts, pepita seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries, dried figs, bee pollen and sea salt evenly over the chocolate. Press lightly to ensure the toppings adhere.
  5. Place the tray in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
  6. Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh and crunchy.
