Instructions

Prepare the Dough Base: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, nut butter, and natural sweetener (maple syrup or honey). Stir well until all ingredients form a smooth, thick cookie dough base.
Add Flavors and Mix-Ins: Mix in vanilla extract and flaxseed meal or chia seeds if using, ensuring an even distribution. Gently fold in dairy-free chocolate chips to evenly spread through the dough.
Spread and Chill: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the cookie dough mixture into a flat layer about half an inch thick on the parchment.
Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the bark to firm up and become easy to break into chunks.
Break into Pieces and Enjoy: Once firm, lift the bark from the parchment paper and break it into bite-sized pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use room temperature nut butter for easier mixing and creamier texture.
Don’t skip refrigeration to achieve the perfect firm yet chewy texture.
Choose high-quality dairy-free chocolate chips for best flavor and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Adjust sweetness by tasting dough before chilling and adding more natural sweetener if preferred.
Store bark in a cool, dry place or refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
