Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup pure
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips dark

Chocolate Topping

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips dark
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flakey sea salt optional

Instructions

  1. Make the cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, stir 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

  2. Shape and chill: Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Press the cookie dough into a thin, even layer (about 1/4 inch thick)

  3. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  4. Top the dough: Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough and spread evenly. Add a sprinkle of flakey sea salt on top if using.

  5. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for 30–60 minutes, or until firm.

  6. Break into bark: Once set, remove and break or cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Recipe Notes

Store in the freezer for up to 3 months in a sealed container.

For a vegan, dairy-free, refined sugar-free version, use chocolate chips made without dairy or refined sugar, such as these.
