Time: 1 hour Serves: 4-6 by Laura Dellandrea

Let this Almond Caramel Crumble Bark be your new favourite holiday recipe; a chocolate bark with no added sugar and a toasted almond caramel crumble that will be a festive favourite they ask to bring back every year.

ingredients

almond caramel crumble:

    • 1 cup almonds, chopped
    • 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

chocolate bark:

  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flakes

directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. After chopping the almonds, add to the parchmentlined baking sheet and drizzle with maple syrup, tossing together until almonds are fully coated.
  3. Roast in the oven for 8 minutes and then turn the oven to broil for an extra 2 minutes. Once cooled, the almonds will solidify into one piece to then break into a crumble.
  4. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  5. For the chocolate bark: Add your melted coconut oil into a mixing bowl and whisk in the cocoa powder and maple syrup until smooth and fully combined.
  6. Add half of the roasted almond crumble to the chocolate mixture and using a spoon, spread the mixture onto the second parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Once spread to an even thickness, sprinkle the remainder of the almond caramel crumble, dried cranberries, and coconut flakes on top of the chocolate.
  8. Place into the freezer for 30-45 minutes or until fully solid and not wet to the touch. Break the solid piece of chocolate bark into smaller pieces and serve. Enjoy!
