Holiday Bark

CHOCOLATE BARK! Who doesn't love it? It's a great last minute gift to give to co-workers and neighbors! It comes together in 5 minutes, and can be tweaked depending on what flavors you love:) To keep it very Christmas like I keep the colors red and green with cranberries and pistachios. This year I added a nice crunch with chia seeds. Dried cranberries always have a boat load of sugar added to them to help combat their natural tartness. I found a brand called Paradise Meadow, that uses 50% less sugar in their dried cranberries. They are awesome. Kindove tart, a little sweet, Yum. I was skeptical thinking they must have added something else to them when removing the sugar but nope nothing else added! To make the bark:

- Melt 1 or 2 packages dark chocolate chips (60 % or higher cacao). To make this vegan be sure to read the label. The higher the percentage of cacao the more likely the chocolate is vegan. Be sure to check though!

-Spread on a Silpat or non stick surface

-Sprinkle with cranberries, pistachios, and chia seeds

-Let set for 1-2 hours

-Break into small pieces and enjoy!
