This cranberry pistachio chocolate bark is my kind of dessert because it’s made with healthy ingredients and it’s easy to throw together. You might even have those ingredients (or similar ones) in your pantry. If you don’t – feel free to add any nuts, dried fruits or even coconut flakes if that’s your thing. You can customize the toppings to your liking and I’ m sure this chocolate bark will turn out fantastic!
This is also a sweet treat you can make in a flash, if you have any unexpected guests visiting, or if you are craving something sweet and don’t want to turn on the oven and bake. Let me tell you how easy it is to make this cranberry pistachio chocolate bark… You need about 5 minutes to mix the ingredients and top the bark with nuts & dried fruit. Then pop it in the freezer to set  – break and eat! Voila ~
How To Make Cranberry Pistachio Chocolate Bark
What you need
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
1/3 cup pistachios

pinch of sea salt
Preparation
In a bowl combine together the melted coconut oil, cacao powder and honey (or maple syrup). Stir well until smooth.
With a spatula, spoon the chocolate mixture onto a prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and smooth out until it’s about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle pistachios and cranberries on top, and add a pinch of sea salt.
Place in the freezer on a flat surface for about 15-30 minutes, until frozen solid. Once frozen, break apart into a bark. Store in the freezer until ready to eat.

Should the coconut oil still be warm once you everything else to it?
No, the coconut oil doesn’t have to be warm when you mix it with the rest of the ingredients.
Chocolate bark is the beeeest! You’re so right…it’s super easy to throw together, and extremely versatile. Pistachios are a must for me, but I also love to add goji berries…yuuumy.
