Ingredients

1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or your choice), chopped
1/4 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, or your choice), chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for added shine)
Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Mix in Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the melted chocolate.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate and chia mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped nuts and dried fruits evenly over the chocolate layer. Press them gently into the chocolate.
Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the chocolate bark from the parchment paper and break it into pieces. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Store: Keep the chia bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
