Vegan Chocolate Bark - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made chocolate bark; it was a spontaneous decision after a long week.

I wanted something sweet but also nourishing, and this recipe came together beautifully.

I love how the rich dark chocolate pairs with whatever toppings I have on hand—nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.

It's all about experimenting and finding what speaks to you in that moment!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to swap out the nuts and dried fruits for whatever you love or have in your pantry. This recipe is super flexible! If you're nut-free, try seeds like pumpkin or sunflower. And if you can’t find vegan chocolate chips, you can also chop up a bar of vegan chocolate.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar at room temperature, and they stay fresh for days. Just make sure they're not in direct sunlight.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a drizzle of nut butter on top before it sets for a different flavor!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in some crushed peppermint candies during the holidays for a festive touch.
  • If I have matcha powder on hand, I’ll mix a teaspoon into the chocolate for a unique flavor twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store your chocolate bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge if you prefer it chilled. It’s perfect for grabbing a piece when you need a little sweetness in your day!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips?

Cocoa powder won't work the same way since it needs fat to create that smooth bark. Stick with chocolate chips or a bar!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This’ll make it easy to lift the bark out later.

  2. 2

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Once melted, stir in the sea salt and half of your chosen nuts and dried fruits into the chocolate.

  4. 4

    Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out to your desired thickness.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the remaining nuts, dried fruits, and cacao nibs on top, gently pressing them into the chocolate.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set. Once firm, break into pieces.
