Strawberry Dark Chocolate Bark (Paleo, Gluten-Free + Vegan)

Looking for a yummy treat for Valentine’s Day (or any time of the year)? Try this Strawberry Dark Chocolate Bark. Not only is it Paleo, but it’s also gluten-free and vegan too. Win!

It’s made with real food ingredients – like almond butter, coconut butter, maple syrup, and shredded coconut. It’s a treat that you’ll feel good about giving to the kids… and the adults.

And what’s so great about this recipe is that you can adjust the sweetness by going down to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup if you don’t want it as sweet. I often cut down on the natural sweeteners in a recipe because I find the chocolate chips more than make up for the sweetness.

Tip: You can keep this Strawberry Dark Chocolate Bark in the freezer to keep its shape and to make it last longer too.

I love making this Strawberry Chocolate Bark and gifting to teachers, neighbours, and friends. I’ve even made this bark and put into cellophane bags with a cute ribbon so the kids can gift homemade healthy treats for their friends at school for Valentine’s Day. That’s way better than the traditional candy that I know will be given out.

Chocolate Bark Toppings

• Chocolate chips

I get my  kitchen pantry supplies like sea salt, black pepper, spices, coconut oil, and other essentials either on Amazon or my local health food store.
