Dark chocolate. You know it, you love it, you gotta have it.
Did you know you can easily melt dark chocolate and infuse it with beautiful herbal flavors like black tea, rose, and coconut? Making chocolate bark may become my new addiction because, after making these 2 batches, I thought up at least 5 new flavor combinations to try next time.
This first bark I’m imagining serving at a ladies tea party. The rose combined with the black tea makes for an elegant flavor. And adding the chia seed into the melted chocolate gives it a delightful crunch.
Tea & Roses Herbal Chocolate Bark
- 2 cups dark chocolate (at least 70%)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ tsp chia seeds
- 2 pinches loose black tea
- 2 pinches dried rose petals
- 1 pinch sea salt
- honey, for drizzling
In a double boiler (or a glass bowl over a saucepan with shallow water bath), melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Add in the chia seeds and mix thoroughly.
Pour the chocolate over wax paper. Sprinkle the tea, rose petals, and sea salt over the chocolate. Drizzle a bit of honey for some glistening sweetness.
Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour until hard.
Break apart and enjoy the yum. Keep in fridge.
This second bark is festive and fun. Nutrient goji berries, protein filled hemp seeds, and all-around wonder ingredient coconut make for a crunchy, flavor-filled snack.
