1 Baking sheet
1 medium pot
- 4 cups mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts)
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
For the Chocolate
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup dairy free milk or coffee cream
Preheat the oven to 280 F. Place 4 cups of nuts on a cookie sheet. Roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Let them cool completely before using.
After nuts have cooled sprinkle the blueberries and raspberries evenly between the nuts.
To Make the Chocolate
**Pay attention to this set of instruction as it is important so you don't ruin your homemade chocolate!Over very low heat add coconut oil, maple syrup, and cocoa powder to a medium sized pot. Stir consistently with a wooden spoon until the mixture looks like chocolate. Do not leave the pot unattended. The mixture thickens quickly. Add "milk" or cream and stir it in before it gets too thick. Remove from heat. Do not let the chocolate burn or it will be ruined. Once the nuts have cooled enough, you can drizzle the chocolate over the nuts so that they are covered.
Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes or the fridge for at least 2-4 hours.
Once the chocolate has set, your bark is ready to eat. Use your hands to break pieces off.
Substitute fresh blackberries for raspberries or blueberries. Substitute dried fruit for fresh fruit.
You can use store bought chocolate instead of making your own. Just be aware the refined sugar content may be significantly higher depending on the type of chocolate you use. Simply melt a 600 gram dark chocolate bar or 2 cups chocolate chips over very low heat in a medium pot, stirring regularly so that it doesn't burn.
