My daughter had a day off from school due to it being a teacher's work day. Each student had to do an enriching activity and report on it when school returned. Making a new recipe was on the list of ideas, so of course we jumped on it.

​This is a fun, kid-friendly recipe, and it is super easy to make. It started with my trail mix recipe and evolved into chocolate trail mix bark!

I have had several people ask me, "How do I get my kids interested in vegan food?" I hear frustration about kids not liking the food or not wanting to try certain foods. My answer is, allow your kids to take part in the preparation. Let them help create the recipes. They may even come up with their own recipes. When they are invested in the process, there is usually a better outcome. Plus, it is so much fun!

Something amazing happens when you combine dark chocolate and trail mix. You get a nutritious snack that is packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and it tastes great, too!
