Dark chocolate bark - a (slightly) healthier indulgence

Don't get us wrong—even though it's rich in antioxidants, dark chocolate isn't exactly a health food. However, because it packs a huge flavour into a small serving, you can get that satisfying sweetness you crave without digging deep into the sweet cookie jar.

You can substitute any nuts or dried fruit you prefer.
