So, unless you hadn't been able to tell, I'm hugely into healthy snacks - I'm talking different types of fruits, nut and trail mixes, dips and spreads, the list goes on. I'm also a sucker for some dark chocolate, especially when it gets to mid afternoon and you just need something to keep you going for the rest of the day. So I thought, why not find a way of combing everything all into one? This chocolate bark does exactly that, whilst also being a bright and colourful distraction. It's crunchy and chewy, sweet and salty and great for sharing with friends during a work break (if you're in a generous mood!!)

You may laugh at how completely expected this is, but when I tell you that I haven't gone light on the topping, I seriously mean that I have not gone light on the topping! I wanted the bark to be a strong mixture of half chocolate, half topping and I have made countless versions to get to this particular one. (Go hard or go home, right?) The good thing though is that every single one of these topping ingredients is beneficial for you in numerous ways, which is why I have called it my 'Superfood Chocolate Bark'. Here's just a couple of examples:

• Goji Berries - containing almost ten times the antioxidant capacity as blueberries, Goji Berries can help to promote healthy eye and immune system health, improve memory and build muscle, whilst also preventing the inflammation that causes sore muscles.
• Brown Linseeds - known for their high omega-3 content, Linseeds are beneficial for healthy eye, joints and brain health and can also help to lower the risks of strokes and heart attacks due to lowering the number of 'undesirable' fats in the blood.
• Pistachios - filled with antioxidants and minerals such as potassium, calcium, zinc and magnesium, Pistachios are high in plant-based compounds that help to improve your immune system and reduce risks of cancer.

Honestly, the list goes on, and these are just a few...So despite this snack still being chocolate based, and topped with nuts, it's a healthier choice for a snack or sweet treat, and it contains many nutrients and antioxidants that your body is going to largely thank you for. Shall we get started?
