Ingredients
  

For the Bark
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Substitution: Coconut flour may work, but it's not a 1:1 substitute; use with caution.
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Oil Substitution: You can use avocado oil instead for a different flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Substitution: Agave syrup can also be used if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Opt for dairy-free chocolate chips to keep it vegan-friendly.
Optional Mix-Ins
  • Nuts Add a delightful crunch; walnuts or pecans work beautifully.
  • Dried Fruits For a fruity burst of flavor, try raisins or cranberries.
  • Sea Salt A sprinkle on top can elevate the flavor profile, balancing sweetness with a savory touch.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir the mixture gently until it's well incorporated and has an even texture.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/3 cup of coconut oil until it transforms into a liquid. Mix in 1/4 cup of maple syrup, stirring well to create a smooth, cohesive mixture. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and blend until they form a cookie dough-like consistency.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly.
  6. Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 1 hour until firm to the touch.
  7. Once set, remove from the freezer and slice into squares or rectangles.
