Dark Chocolate Blueberry Bark

Try this antioxidant-rich sweet treat next time a chocolate craving hits. Made with just four simple ingredients, this recipe is low in added sugar and rich in beneficial nutrients. Blueberries provide fiber and disease-fighting phytonutrients including anthocyanins and flavonoids, which have been linked to improved heart and brain health. Almonds add satisfying healthy fats, protein, and crunchy texture, and dark chocolate provides key minerals like magnesium and iron.

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
2 tsp coconut oil (for thinning out the chocolate)
3/4 cup roasted and salted almonds, chopped
Optional: flaked sea salt, for topping

Instructions:

Line an 8 in x 8 in baking dish with parchment paper. Add blueberries to the dish and spread them out into an even layer.
Sprinkle chopped almonds onto the blueberries.
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil: Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between and continuing until the chocolate is completely melted.
Pour chocolate over blueberries and almonds. Try to pour the chocolate on in an even layer and cover as much of the blueberries and almonds as possible. If some of the blueberries remain uncovered, then use a rubber spatula or back of a spoon to spread out the chocolate as needed.
Place the dark chocolate blueberry bark in the freezer to set for at least two hours. Remove and break the bark into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
