Superfood Chocolate Bark

Superfood chocolate bark – a healthy sweet treat- dark chocolate with almonds, goji berries, seeds, bee pollen & matcha & blueberry flavored white chocolate.

Apart from my mincemeat bundt cake and a few biscuits and things left over from Christmas I have been doing fairly well so far this year at eating healthily (and yes I know it hasn’t been very long yet, shush you!); I’ve been making lots of soups and stews, stocked up on veg and have put all the packets of lentils at the back of the cupboard to good use.

There is no denying that I have a sweet tooth though and I crave a little something sweet after most meals; usually a couple of squares of dark chocolate is enough to satisfy the craving however and has the bonus of actually being good for me.

I made this superfood chocolate bark just to make my chocolate nibble a bit more interesting and add in some extra healthy ingredients.

I like the contrast in textures between the chocolate and the crunchy and chewy toppings and it is beautifully colourful!

I used 70% dark chocolate for the base and topped it with whole raw almonds, goji berries, pumpkin and chia seeds, bee pollen and white chocolate mixed with matcha powder and freeze dried blueberry powder.

I haven’t given exact amounts for all of the toppings because it really is just a case of scattering them over the melted chocolate so you can use as much or as little as you like.

You can also vary the toppings depending on what you have – different nuts and seeds, dried cranberries or cherries, freeze dried fruit pieces and cacao nibs would all work well.

CLOSED If you would like a chance to win a few of the ingredients I used, plus lots of others, then I am giving away a Healthy Supplies hamper worth over £50!

Healthy Supplies stock a huge range of healthy ingredients and snacks, ranging from a variety of nut butters, to freeze dried fruit powders, to a huge selection of superfoods, many of which are difficult to get hold of. You can also buy a lot of the products in bulk, saving you money. For your chance to enter just fill out the widget at the bottom of this post.

The winner of the hamper will receive:

Manuka honey
Bee pollen
Organic coconut sugar
Freeze dried blueberry powder
Freeze dried blackcurrant powder
Ceremonial grade matcha tea
Poppy seeds
Sorghum flour
Blackstrap molasses
Almond butter (not pictured as I was accidentally sent extra manuka honey instead)

I picked out products that could be used for doing some healthier baking, but they all have multiple uses.

My particular favourites are the freeze dried fruit powders which are very versatile; they can be used to flavour chocolate as above, sprinkled over porridge for a burst of fruity flavour or added to buttercream or macarons to add flavour without ruining the consistency by adding extra liquid.
