Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter Can substitute with almond or peanut butter.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey) Use maple syrup for vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) Fold in for enhanced flavor.
Topping Ingredients
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate For topping.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil Optional for melty chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a small baking dish (about 8x8 inch) or a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add the almond flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a thick dough forms. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared dish, forming a flat layer.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the optional coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly.
  7. Place the dish in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  8. Once set, lift the bark out of the dish using the parchment paper and break or cut it into pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for about 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature before serving. For added texture, refrigerate the bark longer.
