I love movie nights, I mean, what’s better than cuddling up in bed or on the sofa, dimming the lights and relaxing with a fun movie? I don’t know, not much, but I will tell you what can make that experience even better: a delicious snack. This healthy chocolate pretzel bark will bring your movie night to the next level! It only takes 5 minutes to prep and tastes delicious. The best part, as always, it is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. The perfect sweet and salty combination for a tasty but healthy movie snack.
Growing up, one of my favorite movies was Marry Poppins. My two sisters and I spent countless nights watching this movie while munching on pretzels and popcorn. We were never allowed to have chocolate late at night which is understandable considering the sugar content, so I decided to transform our favorite snacks into a fun, healthy treat.
Everything tastes better with chocolate, especially when there’s some Lily’s sugar free chocolate involved. It is so delicious; you wouldn’t believe it is only stevia sweetened. One of my favorites is their vegan salted dark chocolate which I used for this recipe as well. The fact that it is sugar-free makes me feel a lot better when I end up eating half the bar 😛
To tell you the truth, making your own chocolate bark has lots of advantages:
- You get to choose your own chocolate. You can either go the regular route or try the paleo/stevia sweetened/unsweetened alternatives.
- You can top it off with whatever you want – nuts, dried fruit, small candies, or whatever your imagination allows. To make it movie themed I used pretzels, peanut butter cups and popcorn, but really the possibilities are endless.
- Most importantly it is much cheaper to make your own bark from scratch than buying an overpriced version at the store. I promise it will taste better too!
I can assure you, this won’t be the last chocolate bark recipe I’m sharing this year. 🙂 I’m already thinking about a beautiful Christmas peppermint version.
If you happen to make this recipe, please let me know. I’d love to see what you come up with. As always, don’t forget to tag @delight.fuel or simply comment below.
