Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Toppings
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking pan with wax or parchment paper and set it aside for easy removal of the chocolate bark once set.
- Measure toppings: Place the pomegranate arils and coconut flakes into small bowls nearby for easy access when decorating the melted chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second pulses, stirring between each, until the chocolate is mostly melted but not completely. Remove from microwave and stir occasionally off heat until fully melted and smooth.
- Form bark rounds: Using a tablespoon, scoop rounds of melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to form individual bark pieces.
- Add toppings: Immediately after scooping the chocolate, sprinkle the pomegranate arils and coconut flakes evenly on top of each chocolate round to ensure they stick.
- Set and serve: Allow the chocolate bark to set at room temperature until firm. Once hardened, enjoy immediately or store in a cool place for later snacking.
Notes
- This recipe provides a wonderful way to satisfy chocolate cravings while incorporating nutrient-rich pomegranate fruit.
- Using coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and adds a subtle tropical flavor.
- You can customize toppings by adding nuts or seeds for more texture and nutrition.
- Store leftover bark in an airtight container in a cool place to prevent melting.
