Coconut-Almond Chocolate Bark Recipe

Makes 4 servings

Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

4 ounces stevia-sweetened chocolate (such as Lily’s), roughly chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 packet Stevia in the Raw
2 tablespoons chopped raw almonds
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

    1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave another 30 seconds and stir again. If the chocolate is not melted at this point, begin microwaving it in 15-second increments, stirring after each one until the chocolate is melted. Mix in the stevia.
    2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread the chocolate into a half-inch thick, even layer with a spatula. Sprinkle the almonds and coconut flakes on top of the chocolate and tap the tray a few times to get the toppings to adhere. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to harden.
    3. To serve, break into large pieces with your hands.
