    Chili Chocolate Bark

    Jul 13, 2015 ·

    Titled-Stack-of-Bark

    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.

    Chili-Chocolate-Bark.2

    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.

        I'm with you. Every time I make it after my 6th or 7th piece I tell myself "this is my last piece", but I just can't stop.
