Strawberry SunButter Bark made nut-free with fresh strawberries, No Sugar Added SunButter, and vegan dark chocolate. The best sweet treat!
Hi, friends!
If you receive my weekly emails or if you follow me on Instagram, you know that M and I have some big news.
We’re getting a puppy!!!
Her name is Flora and she’s a red tri Australian Shepherd pup.
I’m counting down the weeks and days until we can scoop her up in early August.
Like with most new and large responsibilities that I take on, I’m a big fan of the little steps every day approach.
This means every day doing either: puppy proofing the house, watching a puppy training video, or just gushing over her latest photo updates with M.
Every day I think we get a little closer to being ready to be puppy parents.
Of course, it’ll be a learn as you go experience for all of us (Flora included!), but I’m so excited to take on this journey with M.
So now there actually IS a Flora from Flora & Vino, friends, and it’s not me!
This is kind of an inside joke because I have gotten countless emails over years the addressing me as “Flora” from people who saw my brand name and…assumed.
Also because I think the name Flora is adorable and it’s so on brand, isn’t it?!
You know what else is on brand?
My latest recipe that I’m about to share with you to beat the heat.
This Strawberry SunButter Bark is made nut-free with fresh strawberries, SunButter, and vegan dark chocolate.
Enjoy it for a fresh frozen treat this summer to beat the current heat wave!
What You Need to Make Strawberry SunButter Bark
This Strawberry SunButter Bark is a spin off of the Viral Date Bark I made earlier this year.
Here’s what you need to make it:
- Strawberries
- No Sugar Added SunButter
- dark chocolate chips
That’s it!
How to Make Strawberry SunButter Bark
First, line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the strawberry slices in a rectangle, making sure that the strawberries overlap a bit.
Think of it like a puzzle with fitting the strawberries in wherever they work best!
You can also spread the strawberries in another shape, like a circle, a heart, or whatever shape calls to you.
Add No Sugar Added SunButter
I love using No Sugar Added SunButter in this recipe because it’s super creamy and nutty flavored without any nuts!
A few spoonfuls adds protein and healthy fats to this sweet treat.
And it makes this bark allergen-friendly for anyone avoiding nuts.
Drizzle SunButter on top and use a spoon so spread it across the strawberries in an even layer.
You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to do this.
Be gentle so you don’t disrupt the strawberry layer!
It’s OK if some SunButter goes rogue around the strawberries.
Melt the Chocolate
I like using dark chocolate for this recipe, but you can use milk chocolate or any chocolate that sounds delicious to you.
Melt the chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl by heating at 30 second increments until they are fully melted.
Alternatively, you can melt them on the stovetop in a small saucepan, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Use a spoon to spread the chocolate on top of the SunButter layer so it coats everything nicely.
Chill To Set
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
When the chocolate is set, the date bark is done!
To serve, chop the bark into pieces and enjoy.
I like to use a knife to cut the bark into 12 squares, but you can also just wing it and break off pieces!
How to Serve Strawberry SunButter Bark
This Strawberry SunButter Bark is so fun to make for a sweet treat to have for the week ahead.
It tastes like dessert but will score you some fresh fruit, protein, and healthy fats!
I love to have a square as a mid morning or afternoon snack when the weather outside is too hot for my walk!
Try leaving the bark at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving so it has time to thaw a bit for the best taste and consistency.
Enjoy!
