Serving Amount
Ingredients
12 Medjool dates, pitted
1⁄2 cup dark chocolate chips (about 70% dark chocolate)
1⁄4 cup pomegranate arils
2 Tbsp. almond butter or pistachio butter
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the date base. Place a parchment paper on a flat surface and arrange the pitted dates closely together. Top with another piece of parchment paper, then use a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass to press and roll them into an even rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
Step 2
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, or over a double boiler until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed date layer and spread evenly with a spatula or knife.
Step 4
Warm the nut butter slightly (5-10 seconds in the microwave) so it’s drizzle-able, then drizzle over the chocolate layer.
Step 5
Sprinkle pomegranate arils evenly over the top and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt, if using.
Step 6
Transfer the bark to the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Once firm, break or cut into irregular pieces.
