Vegan Chocolate Bark

I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate. Even the smallest portions seem to do the trick! Other than a couple options at Whole Foods (which are amazing btw), it’s hard to find vegan chocolate anywhere period. Since, I like to think my vegan chocolate lollipops were a hit during Christmas time, I thought I would use the same recipe to make chocolate bark. To satisfy both my need for crunch and love of savory, I added nuts and my favorite  peanut butter, Trader Joe’s Creamy.

The final product: probably the best thing I’ve ever made. I know your thinking, how can you go wrong… well you can’t. This is a favorite of vegan and non vegans… totally worth the 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Chocolate chips (you can use whatever your heart desires. I used 365 Vegan Chocolate Chips from Whole Foods)
  • Mixed nuts
  • Peanut butter
  • Parchment paper

Recipe:

  1. Place 10 ounces of chocolate in a bowl and place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir chocolate, and return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
  3. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted.
  4. Immediately stir in the remaining 2 ounces of chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it’s completely smooth.
  5. Pour chocolate on parchment paper (in any shape you’d like).
  6. Melt peanut butter and spread over chocolate
  7. Sprinkle nut mix over chocolate.
  8. Set aside to harder (for about 2 hours).
  9. Cut up the chocolate and enjoy!

Yay, it’s Friday! Wishing you a fabulous weekend!
