Christmas is a great time to get little ones making and baking with you, and this easy recipe is a lovely healthier treat that even the youngest toddlers can help to make. From stirring the chocolate mixture to spreading it on the tray and decorating it with the yummy Organix gingerbread men, gummy stars and dried fruit and nuts, there are plenty of ways your little ones can get involved.

Quick and easy healthy Christmas chocolate bark recipe - a fun treat for kids to make this Christmas

No-Junk Christmas Chocolate Bark

Ingredients:

  • 100g coconut oil
  • 75g cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

To decorate:

  • 1 bag Organix Mini Gingerbread Men
  • 1 bag Organix Blackcurrant & Apple Stars
  • 15g roughly chopped shelled pistachio nuts
  • 15g dried cranberries

Method: 

Line a small baking tray with baking paper.  The tray should be small enough to fit into your fridge or freezer.

Measure out the coconut oil and drop into a heat-proof bowl or jug.

Heat in the microwave at short 10-15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the oil has completely melted and is clear.

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla essence to the melted coconut oil.  Quickly stir until fully combined and smooth.

Pour all of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking tray and spread out over the tray with the back of the spoon.

Working quickly, scatter the Mini Gingerbread Men, Blackcurrant & Apple Stars, pistachio nuts and dried cranberries evenly over the chocolate.

Place the baking tray into the fridge or freezer until set, which should only take around 10 minutes or so.

Once set, break or cut the slab of chocolate into smaller pieces.

Store in an airtight box in the fridge until ready to eat, as this chocolate will melt and get quite soft in a warm room.

Enjoy!
