I'm attempting (and mostly succeeding) at eating a mostly paleo diet modeled after Whole 30 with a few exceptions and a handful of days where I eat whatever I want (and then feel miserable). This recipe from Runners' World is nearly identical to my previous post about Chocolate-Dipped Bananas. This feels much more like a treat but still has lots of things that are good for you.
Pepita Cherry Chocolate Bark
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup pepitas
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
Line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper coming slightly up the sides. Melt coconut oil in the microwave, and stir in cocoa powder and maple syrup. Pour into the baking dish, and tap to evenly spread the mixture. Sprinkle with pepitas and cherries. Freeze until solid, and store in freezer because it melts at room temperature. You can break into pieces or snack from the sheet in the freezer.
Note: This is supposed to be made with unsweetened cherries. I only had sweetened ones on hand, but the original recipe would be healthier and truly paleo.
