Dark Chocolate Pretzel Bark

I received some amazing products from Blue Mountain Organics. The company sent me the organic almond and organic cashew My Nutty Mylk to try. In addition to being USDA certified organic, they are also PALEO friendly, dairy free, contain no additives, gluten free, and Non GMO.  I look forward to using them in sauces, savory dishes, and vegan desserts as well. Since I was responsible for bringing dessert to a work function, I decided to incorporate the cashew mylk into my recipe.

I had a few different dessert ideas, but I finally decided to make the chocolate bark with my daughter's help. We had so much fun making the chocolate peppermint bark during the holidays, and I knew that this would be a blast as well. This recipe does not require many ingredients, and it's definitely kid friendly. In between munching on the dark chocolate peanut gems, we stirred, sprinkled, and made this recipe come to life. The creamy cashew mylk is so silky, rich and smooth that it made me think of at least four other recipes where it will be featured in the near future.

Rich, smooth, creamy, crunchy, sweet, nutty, and only five ingredients to make!

Ingredients

• 1 10 oz. bag dark chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup mini pretzels 
• 1/4 cup Unreal dark chocolate peanut gems
• 1.5 tsps "My Nutty Mylk" organic cashew
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar

​     Instructions

• Melt chocolates in a bowl at 30 sec. intervals in the microwave, or on the stovetop in a double boiler.
• Place parchment paper in a shallow baking dish. ( I used  an oblong 2-quart baking dish.)
• Pour chocolate into dish and tilt to spread evenly.
• Sprink in pretzels.
• Distribute chocolate peanut gems evenly.
• Place in freezer for 20 min.
• In a separate bowl combine cashew mylk and powdered sugar. Stir and microwave for one min.
• Stir until smooth and creamy to eliminate pieces of powdered sugar.
• Remove bark from freezer.
• With a fork, drizzle cashew cream topping across bark.
• Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
• To break the bark: I lift it in the parchment to avoid making fingerprints, and drop it into the dish which causes it to shatter. Since the bark is fairly thin, you may also choose to slice it with a knife as well.
