How to make chocolate coconut bark
It’s such a simple process! The basic idea is this: top-quality, dark chocolate + coconut oil + chopped nuts + sea salt.
1. Start with a high quality dark chocolate.
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a double boiler.
2. Add coconut oil.
When the chocolate is almost completely melted, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup coconut oil. Stir until completely melted.
3. Pour into a pan.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a parchment lined pan.
4. Add salt and nuts.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup chopped nuts over the melted chocolate, along with 1/8 teaspoon unrefined sea salt.
5. Refrigerate until hardened.
Pop the pan in the fridge and wait a few hours until hardened.
6. Slice and enjoy!
Slice or chop the hardened mixture into pieces, and store in the fridge.
I’ll walk you through the process in this quick video:
Chocolate coconut bark ingredients
Chocolate: I prefer to keep my chocolate as dark as possible (85%), and I look for a brand with a clean ingredients list. This is my favorite dark chocolate brand.
Coconut oil: You don’t have to add the coconut oil, but I always do because it “healthifies” the recipe and makes the chocolate stretch further. Unrefined coconut oil will add a subtle coconutty flavor while refined coconut oil does not taste like coconut.
Nuts: Use any nuts you like! For alternatives to nuts, see below.
Salt: Always opt for unrefined sea salt! This is my favorite brand of unrefined sea salt, and you can get 15% off your order with this code: KEEPITREAL.

YUM!!! I am going to try this tonight with Cashews! 😀
Hmmmm…and I’ve recently seen a crust (for a Paleo Cheesecake) made with coconut and pecans. A layer of chocolate on top of that would be awesome, too!
Best regards,
Nancy
Cashews sound like a great variation to me! 🙂
We make this for my essential oil classes and use doTERRA Peppermint…only need 3 drops peppermint or less! But you could use Wild Orange too.
What a great idea! Thanks for chiming in. 🙂
