Easy Raw Chocolate Bark

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you would have told me a few years ago I could make my own chocolate I probably would have given you an ooookay kind of look. Then, if you would have said I could mix it up in less than 5 minutes, I would have looked skeptical…….THEN, if you would have said I probably wouldn’t even have to turn a burner on the stove on, I would have thought you sure had a lot of knowledge about this chocolate and nodded with surprise. T.H.E.N if you would have said there was no refined sugar in it and it was actually a health food, I would have gone back to feeling skeptical. But I promise you can make your very own healthy Easy Raw Chocolate Bark!

Making raw chocolate

Well, all of it is true! It’s doable, quick, no cooking is required, and if you use good quality ingredients it is defiantly a health food! To top it off, its melt in your mouth, delectable chocolate, and you can add anything to it you like!

Making raw chocolate

Heres some health benefits:

Easy Raw Chocolate Bark

Cacao powder-( Not to be mistaken for cocoa powder which is processed) Helps detox liver, can act as an anti-depressant and help balance mood, can help regulate heartbeat and blood pressure.

Coconut oil- Anti-aging, helps balance hormones, helps boost the immune system, and helps to prevent cancer.

Maple Syrup- High in antioxidants, fights inflammation, supplies important vitamins and minerals, and has a lower score on the glycemic index.

    […] *Always buy cacao not cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is deplete of the vitamins and minerals that makes cacao so healthy. To make the chocolate drizzle, I use this recipe. […]
