Okay, guys… I’ve got THE EASIEST homemade paleo chocolate bark recipe for you all and it might change your life…
Fine, that was a little dramatic but homemade chocolate treats tend to do that to me. I can’t help but swoon over all things chocolate. Sometimes I think there might be something wrong with me… but then I’m all like “Nah, chocolate is amazing. This is completely normal.”
I’m sure I’ve said this before but I 200% do not understand when someone says they’re “not a chocolate person”. Exsqueeze me? <– sorry I’ve been binge watching The Mindy Project lately.
If you’re not a chocolate person what kind of person are you exactly?
A weird person, that’s what… I should probably say I am kidding after that statement buuutttt then I’d be lying… So yup, moving on. Hopefully all of you here love chocolate as much as I do and you’re still with me.
So what exactly is this magical creation we’re talking about today? PALEO CHOCOLATE BARK with GRAIN-FREE GRANOLA.
This dessert takes just five ingredients total and made with all the good-for-you stuff.
CACAO POWDER – antioxidants, phytonutrients, a good source of magnesium.
EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL – healthy saturated fats, medium chain fatty acids (MCT’s)
RAW HONEY – natural energy source
VANILLA EXTRACT
PALEO PASSION FOODS GRAINLESS GRANOLA
The process is also ridiculously simple. All you have to do is melt the coconut oil, cacao powder, honey and vanilla in a small sauce pan until fully combined. Then you transfer the mixture to a lined pan (or a silicone one like I used), top with the granola, and transfer the pan to the freezer for the chocolate to set. In about 30 minutes you’ll have healthy paleo chocolate bark ready to devour.
I love the added crunchy texture you get from the grain-free granola too. It’s kind of a must.

Paleo Chocolate Bark with Grain-Free Granola

Print Recipe
Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cacao powder(or unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 3 TBS raw honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- about 1/3 cup Paleo Passion Foods Grainless Granola
Instructions
- Line a 8×8 square pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper, OR lightly grease a silicone square pan and set on baking sheet. Set aside.
- Over low-medium heat in a small saucepan add coconut oil and cacao powder until fully melted and cacao is combined. Gently stir in honey until combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan and top with grain-free granola (I used about a 1/3 cup of chunks, and broke apart to sprinkle on).
- Transfer pan to freezer and allow chocolate to set, about 30 minutes. Once chocolate has set, remove from pan and break into bark pieces. Enjoy!
Notes
Paleo chocolate bark should be stored in freezer, due to the melting temperature of coconut oil. The chocolate will still be soft enough to enjoy frozen.

Ahhhh holiday bark is the best! So addicting.

I love chocolate ice cream in a waffer cone…there is nothign like it! But if I want a good crunch, I actually always have chocolate granola on hand so I would love to try this!
Ashley says
Good idea to always have granola on hand—Nothing like just grabbing a handful out of the bag 🙂
Sam @ Pancakewarriors says
I have been pretty obsessed with homemade chocolate treats as well. Made a pumpkin Reece’s cup two nights ago. Dave and I devoured them painting the gym yesterday before I could do pics. Guess I need to make them again! This granola sounds amazing!!!
Ashley says
Lol good thing Drew is mostly not home when I take pictures! He did just devour the cake I made though.

This looks so simple and delicious! It’s hard to pick my favorite chocolate dessert, but I had a filled chocolate cake for my birthday every single year growing up and it was incredible!
Ashley says
Oh filled chocolate cake?!

This looks amazing! I’m all about the raw chocolate these days — especially almond butter cups — and I think those would be even better with granola inside 🙂
Ashley says
omg that sounds amazing 😀

Ok, so I’m totally wanting to try this granola; I’ve seen it so many places. Which is your favorite flavor? I love brownies as a chocolate dessert or rocky road ice cream. 🙂

★★★★★
Anushka W says
I know this sounds boring and unoriginal but I absolutely looooove having a square of DARK (90% or greater) chocolate with some almond butter or greek yogurt.
Ashley says
Not boring!! Sometimes simple is best, especially when it comes to quality dark chocolate 🙂
entretenir_la_bonte says
I just made this and all I can say is “OH MY!!!” I will never buy store bought chocolate again! I added little chunks of crystallised ginger, which meant I could have cut down on the honey- I guess I’ll just have to keep making it until I get it right! 😉
★★★★★
Ashley says
Ohhhh gosh the ginger sounds incredible! So glad you enjoyed, thanks for letting me know!!
Kelly M. says

Chocolate chip cookies, of course 😉 I’m mostly a fruit girl though, not a chocolate person. This bark looks great, though,
