Guilt Free Dark Chocolate Nut Bar - Recipe

Happy Easter and Happy Passover!


 
Here’s a delicious treat for Easter or Passover!
This chocolate is good for you and tastes amazing J!  Dark chocolate is filled with antioxidants and other beneficial properties. Add sliced almonds or any nuts or seeds and a sprinkle of toasted coconut and you are going to be very happy!

Ingredients:
20 servings
·         20 oz dark chocolate, 76% or higher cocoa content (best organic; I like Giddy YoYo)
·         1/2 teaspoon almond natural (not synthetic) extract
·         1 cup sliced almonds or other nuts or seeds
·         1/2 cup shredded coconut, lightly toasted

Instructions:
1.      Line a tray with wax or parchment paper, making sure that it will fit into your freezer.
2.      Lightly toast the coconut in a small skillet over low heat. Set aside.
3.      Gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Mix in the almond extract and sliced nuts or seeds.  Spread the mixture over the prepared sheet. Evenly sprinkle with coconut.
4.      Place in freezer for about 30 minutes. Break into pieces and serve.
