Pomegranate Date Bark

Ingredients

• 500 g Pitted Dates
• 250 g Peanut Butter
• ½ cups Slivered almonds
• ½ cups pomegranate arils from 1 pomegranate
• ½ cups freeze-dried strawberry pieces
• 360 g Dark Chocolate

Optional

• 1 tsp Freeze dried Strawberry Dust

Steps

1. Line a tray with baking paper
2. Slice the dates lengthways, remove the pits, and flatten them cut-side up to form a tight, even base. Press together firmly so there are no gaps in between. Place another piece of baking paper on top and using a cup or rolling pin, roll it flat into an even base.
3. Remove the top baking paper, and spread the peanut butter evenly over the date layer.
4. Sprinkle over the slivered almonds, pomegranate arils, and freeze-dried strawberries.
5. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
6. Pour the melted chocolate over the toppings and spread gently to cover everything evenly.
7. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
8. Once firm, break or cut into bark-style pieces. Finish with a dusting of freeze-dried strawberry powder if desired.
