dark chocolate strawberry bark ingredient notes:
Dark chocolate: Look for a dark chocolate with a high cocoa content for increased antioxidants and fiber! Dark chocolate has been found to have heart healthy benefits, although always consume in moderation, due to the sugar content. I prefer dark chocolate for it’s rich, deep flavor, but you could also opt for milk chocolate here if you prefer.
Almonds: The recipe calls for raw unsalted almonds, if you prefer a more savory bite use roasted and salted, or even candied almonds. Be sure to roughly chop these either in a food processor or by hand to get an evenly coated crunch in each bite.
Almond butter: The addition of creamy almond butter gives this bark a deeper, rich flavor than traditional dark chocolate. Paired with the chopped almonds, you get an additional layer of nuttiness.
Freeze dried strawberries: The dried strawberries add a lovely pop of color and texture to this bark, while also maintaining much of their nutritional value. Dried strawberries often taste more tart than fresh ones, however take note of freeze dried vs dehydrated strawberries when in the grocery store, as dehydrated berries often lose much of their nutritional value in the heating process.
Flaky salt: While optional, I would argue that the flaky sea salt takes this bark to the next level. The sweetness with the saltiness is everything you want in a late night snack. My favorite flaky salt perfect for garnishing is this one!
