COCONUT CACAO BARK
OMG, I love this recipe. My DH and I gobbled a few pieces of it as soon as I took it out of the freezer. It is so fast and easy anyone can make it. The taste is really delicious!!! You can use a variety of powdered sweeteners in this recipe, just make sure you taste it while its still in the saucepan. That way, you can adjust the sweetness to suit your tastes.

Steps:
- Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan.
- Carefully add the raw cacao, vanilla, sweetener and nuts. The oil might spit a bit when you add other ingredients to it. Note: If you want, grind the Xylitol in a coffee grinder until a fine powder.
- Mix well to dissolve the sweetener and taste to make sure it is sweet enough.
- Pour onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. My baking sheet was 8x 11 1/2" which made my bark about 1/4" thick. But you can use a smaller one if you like your bark thicker.
- Put the pan into the freezer for about 30 minutes making sure the pan is straight so the bark will be even when it sets.
- Check the bark before you take it out of the freezer to ensure its solid all the way through.
- When set remove from the pan and break into pieces. Store in the fridge.
- Bon Appetit!

Steps:
- If you have time, toast the nuts/seeds: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Toast the nuts/seeds on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and turning lightly golden on the edges, about 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a cutting board and roughly chop them.
- In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it's about 90% melted-keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. (Alternately, you can use melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.)
- Cover a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a silicone or rubber spatula to spread chocolate evenly over the center area of the baking sheet-aim for about 1/4″ thickness (it won't reach the edges).
- Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the chocolate, followed by the dried fruit. If you're adding flaky salt, crush it between your fingers as you sprinkle it over the chocolate. Lightly use your palms to press the toppings into the chocolate.
- If you're in a hurry, place the pan on a flat surface in the refrigerator to harden for about 15 minutes. If you're not, let the chocolate cool at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours, until completely hardened.
- Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into about 25 pieces. Serve immediately, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend the cacao and coconut until completely smooth.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can grate the cacao and coconut by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well.
- If you want a sweeter bark, add more maple syrup or honey to taste.
- You can also add other flavors to the bark, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cayenne pepper.
- If you're using a silicone mold, be sure to grease it lightly with coconut oil or cooking spray before pouring in the chocolate mixture.
- If you don't have a silicone mold, you can pour the chocolate mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Be sure to refrigerate the bark for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely set.
- Once the bark is set, break it into pieces and enjoy!
