5-Minute Chocolate Coconut Almond Bark

4 ingredients + 5 minutes = dessert for Mom (and maybe kids, too)

This is one of those desserts that I call a “Mom Treat” because I can leave it in plain sight and my kids won’t eat any of it. I can enjoy this crunchy chocolate almond bark in a leisurely fashion, breaking off little pieces after lunch or dinner or before bedtime.

At my house, Mom Treats usually involve some combination of dark chocolate, crunchy nuts and less sugar than regular desserts.

I started making super simple treats like this when my kids were really little and I craved dessert after I put them to bed. There was no way I was going to start baking something; the only thing I wanted to do was sit on the couch. Also, our kitchen is just around the corner and exactly 6 steps from my kids’ bedroom, so running a loud mixer and clanking baking pans was not an option.

Enter the 5-minute no-bake dessert!

This recipe has just 4 ingredients and takes barely more than 5 minutes to mix together, plus some time in the freezer to set.

There’s no added sugar, no gluten, no dairy. Just almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut oil and chocolate. And yet, it satisfies a craving for dessert with its intense crunchiness and a balance of sweet, salty and oh-so-chocolatey flavor.
