Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (8oz) softened - ( We use Kerry Gold. ghee for dairy free option)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 3/4 cup coconut sugar (see notes for alternative)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (Enjoy life Vegan/GF brand)
• Optional toppings or add-ins if desired - crushed nuts, cinnamon, vanilla, etc.
• TOOLS
• Baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Small sauce pan

Directions

• First make sure your butter is softened somewhat. This speeds up process.
• In a medium pot, combine your butter, sugar, maple syrup, and water.
• Mix on stove top on medium heat until sugar is dissolved into butter.
• Then place on medium high until you reach a boil. Dont boil too high too long otherwise your sugar will burn.
• Reduce to medium or at 285F, somewhat of a soft boil.
• Continue to cook, whisking constantly, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful to watch the pot so the butter doesnt overflow. If it starts too, just lift pot with pot holder for a second then place back down.
• The liquid boil will be nice darker amber color once done.
• Carefully pour the hot mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread it around evenly.
• Pour your dark chocolate chips on top.
• The chocolate will start to melt with mixture. Spread the melted dark chocolate around evenly with spatula.
• Add any other topping youd like. Crushed nuts, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. Spread it around the pan as well.
• Place in fridge for 2 hrs.
• Once hardened, remove from fridge and cut into bark.
• I like to add a little coconut sugar on top to make it more sticky. This is optional.
• Store in air tight container or ziplock bag.
• I keep mine in fridge to last longer but room temperature is fine as well.
