Healthy Chocolate Bark (Great for Valentine's Day!)

You can still have your treat while increasing your omega-3’s and protein intake. A
great example of this pairing is found in organic trail mixes – M&M’s mixed with nuts and dried fruit offer a deliciously balanced snack.

A traditional treat for Valentine’s Day is chocolate bark. Take a look at how you can
add your own twist and increase the nutritional value of this romantic treat for your

1. Combine the chocolate and melt in a double boiler or the microwave in a
glass bowl.
2. Pour the chocolate onto a parchment paper-covered sheet pan. Spread it
evenly until it is the desired thickness.

amount if you don’t want the bark too chunky.

set.
5. Place in the refrigerator or a cool place until the chocolate hardens.
6. Break into pieces and serve.

This simple dessert can be a crowd-pleaser while adding healthy nutrients and
heart-healthy benefits. Once you have tried one combination, find your favorite nut and fruit combination like walnuts with mangos or pistachios with apricots.
