I’m always on the lookout for fun holiday snacks, as evidenced by these thanksgiving snacks for kids.

When I came across the idea for pomegranate chocolate bark, I was immediately thinking about what else I could add.

I actually don’t have any pomegranate bark recipes like this yet.

We have some delicious vegan edible cookie dough and 3 ingredient vegan peanut butter cookies, but nothing like this, with melted chocolate.

Like yogurt bark, I love to add fun and nutritious toppings.

While most people add pistachios, I decided to go with peanuts and a dash of honey in these dark chocolate pomegranate bites.

Ingredients for Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Bites

Here’s what you’ll need to make this dark chocolate pomegranate bark bites.

• dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) – you can also use chocolate chips to melt. White chocolate would also be delicious!

Ingredients

• 8 oz dark chocolate, melted (I used two dark chocolate bars)
• 2 tsp coconut oil or butter, for melting
• 1 cup pomegranate arils
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
• 1 Tbsp honey
• sea salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Break your chocolate bar(s) into pieces and add to microwavable safe bowl. Microwave in 30-40 second increments, until chocolate is melted. Sometimes, adding it a bit of coconut oil can help the chocolate mix more easily.
2. To the bowl of melted chocolate, add pomegranate arils.
3. Spread the chocolate pomegranate mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Scatter peanuts around on the mixture.
4. If desired, sprinkle a tablespoon of honey on top of the bark mixture. Sprinkle sea salt as well
5. Place in the freezer for 2 hours, or overnight.
6. Upon removing, break bark with a pizza cutter or sharp knife and enjoy.

Notes

* Chocolate chips can be substituted for dark chocolate bars.

* I find that using a pizza cutter to break the chocolate after freezing helps!
