Easter Special: Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark
This weekend is Easter and, for many of us, that means a bit of chocolatey overindulgence, followed by a few weeks of regret. Dark chocolate is a wonderfully nutritious alternative to milk or other varieties and this fruit and nut bark can be a decadent but healthier alternative to the standard Easter eggs. The healthiest forms of chocolate are dark chocolate (70% cocoa content or higher) and cacao nibs, the original, natural form. Dark chocolate and cacao nibs are high in antioxidants, which help fight free radicals that can damage the cells in your body. Two groups of antioxidants found in dark chocolate are flavonoids and polyphenols – and they’re found in greater amounts in chocolate than either tea or red wine. The higher the percentage of cocoa in your chocolate bar, the greater the number of antioxidants.
