How to make tahini dark chocolate bark
This healthy dark chocolate bark recipe is simple to make and only requires about 10 minutes of prep time.
Make the tahini layer: The first step is to add all ingredients into a large bowl (except for the chocolate chips and sesame seeds). Mix well until everything is combined then transfer onto a lined baking tray. Pat down with your hands, packing the ingredients together and spreading it out evenly over the tray to make one large layer. The mixture will likely not cover the entire braking tray. Bake at 350C for about 20-25 minutes until golden.
The Chocolate Layer: To make the chocolate layer just melt your vegan chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment. If you do not have a microwave or do not want to use one you can also melt them in a double broiler. Once the tahini layer is done baking pour the melted chocolate all over and spread it out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds and sea salt then place in the fridge for at least 1 hour for the chocolate to set.
Additions/Substitutions
Use a different sweetener. I used maple syrup to sweeten this bark but you can use any liquid sweetener you’d like!
Try a different nut butter. Make a dark chocolate almond bark, or try using peanut butter or cashew butter, all would work well!
Some tips from Steph
- Make sure your chocolate chips are vegan! You can find lots of brands that are accidently vegan but I usually always use the chocolate chips from Enjoy Life.
- Bake your bark until golden. If you want your tahini layer to be super crunchy make sure to bake until it is golden brown!
- Try adding some other toppings: Add some mixed nuts on top, some flakey salt, desiccated coconut or try making your dark chocolate bark with pretzels!
Storing your dark chocolate bark
Store your chocolate tahini bark in the fridge for up to 10 days! It stores well in the fridge as long as it is in an airtight container!
