Decadent dark chocolate bark loaded with tropical fruits, almonds, and goji berries.
If you’re snowed in or experiencing a polar vortex where you may be, then your days are probably filled with lots of free time for movies, afternoon naps, and cooking. It’s probably a good time to raid your pantry too, because if you can find some dried tropical fruits and nuts, then you can make this sweet Tropical Dark Chocolate Bark and imagine you are in some tropical paradise with white sand beach and cool ocean breeze.
Decadent dark chocolate paired with chunks of dried pineapple, crunchy sweet coconut chips, toasted almonds, and goji berries. The best part is that it’s so easy to make – five ingredients and 30 minutes is all it takes to make these sweet treats inspired by the flavors of the tropics. It’s almost like a quick tropical getaway for your taste buds.
For this recipe I used dried tropical fruits from Sunsweet which had just added two new flavors to complement their line of Philippine Tropicals: Thai Coconut Chip and Philippine Green Mango. The coconut chips have a satisfying crunch combined with creamy vanilla notes, and the green mangoes (they’re picked early just as they begin to ripen) are packed with delicious tanginess that will leave you craving for more.
If you love sweet tropical fruits, you’d want to try the Philippine Mango made from thick, soft pieces of Marabella mangoes and the juicy and delicious Philippine Pineapple. They come in these resealable pouches which make convenient on-the-go snacks whether you need to refuel before a workout or have a long road trip ahead of you.
