These fiber-rich treats are a perfect snack or dessert when you feel like something sweet. They taste like a chocolate bar but are made from whole foods such as dates, nuts and coconut. Feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking! Anything goes with these!

Cooking Time

Yields
10 pieces of bark

Ingredients
10-12 pitted medjool dates
2 tablespoons nut butter (I used Sunbutter)
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
½ cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
flaky sea salt

Directions
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Split dates open and press down each one down onto the sheet, making sure they overlap a little so they stick together.

Drizzle sunbutter on top and use a spoon so spread it across the dates. Sprinkle on sunflower seeds.

Melt chocolate with coconut oil and drizzle it on. Use a spoon to spread it around so it coats everything.

Sprinkle on flaky sea salt and pop the baking sheet into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Remove from the freezer, chop the bark into 10 pieces and enjoy.

Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If you’re storing in the freezer, the dates will get pretty hard so let the bark sit out a few minutes before biting into it.
