Because really, we can’t live on cookies alone.
We need a little health food.
And this bark? Yes, it is practically health food.
There has been a lot of sugar, chocolate, chips and cheese going on and I kind of felt like this was necessary.
Well, not really.
I actually had another not so healthy, super sweet dessert planned for today, but it totally failed. So I drowned my emotions in dark chocolate and then I made bark.
So while this bark may not be hopped up on sugar, loaded down with butter and garnished with crushed potato chips it is probably the best bark I have made to date.
Granted I think I have only made bark one other time and I think I just threw on some nuts and called it a day. Still, you have to try this stuff. The problem is, I can’t get everyone to finish off the other desserts around here. Not only is this bark delicious, it is just too easy to grab and go!
And it is so easy, which is definitely a welcomed idea in my head.
There is a total of seven ingredients, eight if you include the sea salt, and the hands on time is maybe ten minutes. Hallelujah!
Everything is all about the almonds. They are roasted in ground coffee beans with a touch of vanilla, a sprinkle of cocoa and a good dose of sea salt. It is pure amazingness.
Honestly, I am not sure you will ever taste better almonds. Oh, and there are some pistachios in there too. Pistachios combined with the dark chocolate and toasted is coconut is just pure Christmas magic if you ask me.
There is a whole half a cup of ground coffee needed for this recipe, and though it may seem like a lot, not all of it gets added directly to the bark, some of it is used to roast with the almonds. You can choose how little or how much you want to sprinkle on in the end, but I probably used about a fourth of cup.
It was perfect.
Seriously, so good. I mean, this bark is made up of all super foods (hello almonds, dark chocolate, coffee and coconut!) so this is a totally acceptable anytime snack, morning or night.
And it’s a great last-minute gift for practically anyone. Seriously, it is gluten free, vegan and grain free. Like I said, perfect for everyone!
