🍫 Dark Chocolate Fruit Bark (Wellness-Approved Indulgence)
This recipe was born out of a craving—for something sweet, satisfying, and clean. One day, a health-savvy friend showed me how to melt dark chocolate, layer it with vibrant dried fruits and crunchy nuts, and let it set. The result? A batch of bark so beautiful and delicious, it looked straight out of a boutique chocolatier. And the best part? It took less than 30 minutes.
Now it’s my go-to whenever I want to feel indulgent without compromising wellness. It’s rich, nutrient-packed, and always a hit with friends who think I bought it from a fancy shop.
