Holiday Chocolate Bark!! You’ve surely heard of it or seen it right? Usually made with chocolate chips or a bar, melted, topped with nuts or dried fruit. Especially wonderful is the fact no baking is required!
Now you can have it made without added sugars!
Using my recipe for Dark Chocolate Chunks naturally sweetened with stevia, one piece can be yours for a mere 51 calories!
You can add whatever your heart desires. Chopped nuts would be fabulous, but since my boys wouldn’t be able to eat it I opted for roasted sunflower seeds and dried cranberries.
At Whole Foods I found dried cranberries sweetened with apple juice instead of sugar! Made my day!
Once hardened, break into pieces and enjoy some or keep refrigerated in an airtight container.

Where do you buy the unsweetened cacao baking chocolate? Thanks
I found the type Brenda uses on iherb. Ghirardelli bar. I can’t find it in Australia, so I’m so glad I found it there!!
Glad you did!
Brenda, where do you find a nut-free source for the sunflower seeds? Thanks!
I found them at Whole Foods as well, it was their brand.
How much stevia would i use if I only have liquid drops?
It would be better to use a teaspoon at a time , taste it and decide if you need more.
Could this be used to dip other items into with a chocolate coating, like PB balls or truffles?
Would the recipe work with unsweetened raw cacao nibs? I can’t find unsweetened cacao baking chocolate anywhere.
Yes I think the nibs would work because they should melt the same.
could you use cocoa powder instead of bars and just add more oil? or shortening?
I’m sorry I’ve not tried it with cocoa powder but yes I would add more oil with that.
Can you substitute the stevia with a different sweetener such as honey??
I think you could although not sure how much, maybe 1/2 cup? Might not be sweet enough, just taste it before pouring it out onto pan.
