This recipe is the perfect dessert "replacement". Dark chocolate bark is still a dessert, but with a bit of a healthy twist.

Dark chocolate is really rich in antioxidants, so I use that an as excuse to have dessert! It's overall honestly not that bad for you, so if you're looking for a healthier alternative than your typical cookie or brownie. This bark is delicious enough to eat as a dessert, but won't leave you feeling bloated or guilty.

Other ingredients like, almonds, dried cherries, and hearty granola also give added health benefits. Almonds are a great source of healthy fats, cherries provide you with a plethora of health benefits like; anti-aging, facilitates weight loss, relieves insomnia, etc. Lastly, granola 9the right kind) can be sweet and tasty and have high fiber.
