Recipe Alterations

Make the bark nut free: omit the Brazil nuts.
Add protein: mix some collagen or protein powder into the melted dark chocolate. Some good protein powders include: beef protein isolate or hemp protein powder.
Swap the superfoods: use sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin seeds, swap the Brazil nuts for walnuts, use dried blueberries instead of goji berries...
Turn the bark into cups: instead of making bark, pour the chocolate into cups (paper lined muffin pan or a silicone muffin pan) for bite-sized treats.
