Description

This Chocolate Pomegranate and Coconut Bark is a delightful and healthy treat that combines rich melted chocolate with the fresh tartness of pomegranate arils and the crunch of toasted coconut flakes. Quick and easy to prepare, this no-bake snack provides a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, ideal for satisfying your chocolate cravings with a nutritious twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking pan with wax or parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking and make removal easy.
  2. Organize toppings: Place the pomegranate arils and coconut flakes into small bowls nearby for easy access when decorating the bark.
  3. Melt the chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power or LOW in 15-second intervals, stirring between each pulse. Typically, 3 to 4 pulses are needed. Remove the bowl before the chocolate is fully melted and let it rest at room temperature, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Shape the chocolate bark: Use a tablespoon to scoop the melted chocolate into round circles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Add toppings: Immediately after placing the chocolate circles, sprinkle the pomegranate arils and coconut flakes on top while the chocolate is still soft to ensure they adhere as it sets.
  6. Set the bark: Allow the chocolate circles to cool and harden at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once fully set, carefully remove the chocolate bark pieces from the parchment paper and serve as a delicious snack or dessert.
