Superfood, Super Delicious, Chili Chocolate Bark!

It’s so amazingly yummy, you may lose your self-control.

Smooth dark chocolate with a crunch of cashew, dried coconut and a hint of heat from hot chili oil, every bite will leave you wanting more.

I’m not a big candy bar eater, but I love making batches of bark because I control the ingredients. I usually make a double batch and freeze half, if I lose control, there’s always more.

That’s what great about bark, other than the fact that it’s delicious, it’s fast and easy to make.

As far as candy goes, I like to think of this as a much healthier version of candy.

Dark chocolate…good for your heart.

Coconut…speeds metabolism, high in fiber and improves digestion.

Cashews…lower in fat than most other nuts and high in proanthocyanidins,  a flavanol which help keep cancer cells from dividing.

Ingredients-Chili-Chocolate-Bark

This bark is a melt in your mouth slab of deliciousness with just a touch of heat from the addition of hot chili oil.

Hot chili oil… anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

The heat in this bark is subtle and warms a bit after swallowed. You may just need to make more than one batch, one to share and one just for yourself.

    You had me at chocolate! If I made this I’d have to hide this from my husband, because there wouldn’t be any left for me, he loves cashews! Pinned and tweeted! Thank you for sharing and it’s a pleasure co-hosting #OMHGWW with you again!
