How to make High Protein Halloween Chocolate Bark:

This healthy viral date bark uses protein bars instead of dates, and is super easy to make. Here’s the steps:

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Begin by melting the chocolate chips with oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.

Step 2: Spread the Chocolate

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it evenly. It should be about ⅛ inch thick.

Step 3: Chill

Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes till frozen.

Step 4: Make the Nut Butter Spread

Stir together peanut butter, protein powder, cocoa powder and syrup (adding a little bit at a time). This creates a luscious and creamy spread for your healthy Halloween chocolate bark.

Step 5: Spread the spread

Spread the nut butter chocolate spread on the chocolate evenly.

Step 6: Add the Spooky Toppings

This is where the Halloween magic happens! Sprinkle the chopped Oreos, pretzels, and Halloween-themed eye candies across the top of the chocolate base. Get creative with your arrangement to make it as eerie as you like.

Step 7: Chill and Set

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the bark has fully set. Once it’s firm to the touch, remove it from the fridge.

Step 8: Break into Pieces

Now, break your Healthy Halloween chocolate Bark into irregular pieces, just like shards of a haunted chocolate masterpiece.
