Festive chocolate bark with a hint of maple packed with pistachios and goji berries! Easy vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free holiday dessert.
With the countdown to Christmas getting closer and closer, I’m finding excuses to throw red and green in everything.
From salads to oatmeal bowls, nothing gets by without a little holiday sprucing.
I’ve had such a sweet tooth, lately.
Anyone else?
If we’re going to be eating all the sweets, we could at least make them festive, right?
This Maple Pistachio Goji Berry Chocolate Bark requires only 4-ingredients, a bit of a sweet tooth, and a lot of holiday cheer!
This chocolate bark was inspired by the Eating Evolved’s Crunchy Caramel Chocolate Bar.
Have you tried it yet?
It looks like your average chocolate bar from the top, but if you flip it over, its got the smatterings of crystallized maple Jackson Polluck style everywhere.
Abstract art at its tastiest.
I incorporated my favorite maple syrup, Coombs Family Farms into this sweet mix to try make my own.
If you haven’t heard me talk about Coombs before, these Seventh Generation Maple Farmers make the best pure and certified organic maple syrup.
It’s my favorite natural, refined sugar free sweetener for the holiday season, and every season.
Plus the combination of chocolate and maple is one you don’t want to miss!
Enjoy this Maple Pistachio Goji Berry Chocolate Bark as a festive holiday treat to share.
Because it’s gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and oil free, it’s got a little something for everyone.
If you’re nut free, try subbing pumpkin seeds for the pistachios to keep the red and green flair.
I let my bark sit out at room temperature overnight so the maple ribbons crystallize and look sparkly the next morning.
Alternatively, you can omit them for a less fussy but still maple-y chocolate bark.
If you make this Maple Pistachio Goji Berry Chocolate Bark I’d love to hear what you think!
