I go crazy for anything ginger, as I love it even more than chocolate. So, I especially love the holidays to break out all the holiday desserts. Not only is this a festive homemade chocolate, it makes a great gift, too!

With this simple, basic, EASY bark recipe you will have chocolate bark success every time. I often call bark my “clean out the pantry” dessert because that’s basically what I do when I’m coming up with flavors:

I search through my pantry and take out any half used bags or packets of nuts or dried fruit or the dregs of sprinkles or cookie boxes. EVERYTHING goes good with chocolate and it’s easy to personalize the recipe.

This recipe was created in exactly this way. Using ingredients I found hanging around my kitchen, this unique and delightful dessert or snack combines my favorite nutrient dense foods into something new and inspiring. And by choosing your toppings right and adding superfoods such as nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, coconut chips or goji berries, you are adding extra nutrition to your treat. Break into bite sizes pieces to share with friends and family, or package into bags to use as a ‘thank you’ gift.

Homemade chocolate bark is a great way of lifting plain chocolate to a higher level. And the beauty of it doesn’t reside in the end product only. Making your own chocolate bark is such a fun way of being creative in the kitchen and something you can do with children. It’s not as messy as some other desserts, and your kids can let their creativity go wild.

Dangerously easy to make with endless combinations, these make beautiful holiday gifts or, you know, as they say – treat yo self!

This Super Food Bark is a more nourishing and satisfying alternative to many other sweet treats. Feel free to substitute almond, peanut butter, or a different nut butter in place of cashew. You can also swap in almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
