Ingredients:
• 1 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips
• 2 Tsp date sugar
• 1 cup roasted chick pea half’s ( roasted channa dal)
• 1/4th cup toasted sesame seeds
• 3-4 cardamom pods ( we will be using the seeds )
Instructions:
• Start by adding your dark chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl.
• Melt your dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring really well each time until melted completely. Make sure to not heat it too much, usually, 1:30 to 2 minutes does the trick!
• Now add date sugar in and mix well( if the chocolate chips you are using already has sugar, we don’t need to use date sugar)
• Next, add roasted channa dal and sesame seeds to the bowl. Leave a Tsp of sesame seeds aside to sprinkle on the bark.
• Stir well until the chick peas and sesame seeds are coated in chocolate.
• Next, line a plate with parchment paper or wax paper and pour the chocolate, chickpea mixture onto the plate. Use a spatula to spread the bark into an even layer. Then sprinkle, sesame seeds and cardamom seeds on top of the bark.
• Put your bark in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Once it has hardened, use your hands to break it into smaller pieces. Keep this stored covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy!!
