CHOCOLATE OR CAROB
PEANUT BUTTER BARK
When chocolate temptations abound around Easter holidays, this
recipe will come in handy to save you. Breaking off irregular pieces of
bark is one of the fun things about bark.
The pieces do not need to be uniform in shape or size for that
matter. That is why the nutritional
analysis is more of a guestimate for this recipe. You may get more pieces or you may break off
fewer, bigger pieces. It is up to you.

4 oz sugar-free chocolate chips, OR (125 g)
Baker’s® unsweetened chocolate,
OR unsweetened carob chips*
Liquid sweetener to equal 3/4 cup (175 mL)
sugar
2 tsp whipping cream* (30 mL)
1 tbsp olive oil (15 mL)
1/4 cup peanut butter (60 mL)
2 tbsp coconut oil (30 mL)
1/4 cup vanilla whey protein (60 mL)
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In
double boiler (or use one bigger and one smaller pot), combine chocolate chips,
OR Baker’s unsweetened chocolate, OR unsweetened carob chips, liquid sweetener,
whipping cream and olive oil. Stir
occasionally over medium heat until the chocolate has melted.
In
small bowl, combine peanut butter and coconut oil. Nuke 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla whey protein into the peanut butter and coconut oil mixture; mix well. Add whey protein mixture to molten chocolate
and stir to combine well. Pour the
chocolate over the parchment paper into a rectangular shape to the thickness
that you desire (remember the chocolate freezes fairly hard). Place pan with chocolate in the freezer. Break off pieces once hardened and
enjoy.
Helpful Hints: You can use unsweetened Baker’s
chocolate. Just make sure to sweeten
appropriately. Remember sucralose and
stevia on their own won’t do the trick.
Use a combination of sweeteners…usually adding in erythritol or xylitol
(powdered). Just be careful with xylitol
as it is literally deadly for dogs (causes prolonged hypoglycemia). This chocolate gets even harder after a
couple of hours in the freezer, however, it hardens enough to eat within 15
minutes.
