I love chocolate- and absolutely believe that you can enjoy chocolate as part of a healthy diet. The key is to go for dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids). Dark chocolate is packed with nutrients: magnesium, fibre, antioxidants, zinc, selenium, iron and copper. Plus in this recipe the added nuts, seeds and goji berries up the ante on the nutritional benefits.
Ingredients:
300g Dark Chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids)
1/4 cup of goji berries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup chopped pecan nuts
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 tbsp coconut flakes or desiccated coconut
Method:
1.) Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper
2.) Melt the dark chocolate in bowl over a pan of simmering water
3.) Once melted, tip the chocolate on to the lined baking sheet and spread out to around 1/4 cm thick
4.) Sprinkle over the goji berries, nuts, seeds and coconut
5.) Refrigerate for 1 hour to set
6.) Once set, snap into pieces and store in a jar for up to 2 weeks
Enjoy!
