This Nutty Chocolate Bark is so simple to prepare, no cooking is required!
Deliciously decadent, this nutty chocolate bark feels like a real treat without any of the sugar of your standard Easter egg or bunny. The combination of crunchy nuts and The Fast 800 Shakes powder also makes this chocolate surprisingly high in protein per serve.

Prep Time2 hrs 20 minsTotal Time2 hrs 20 mins
4 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
60ml water, boiled
1 cup coconut oil, melted
100g The Fast 800 Chocolate Shakes
40g cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
70g almonds, chopped
30g macadamia, chopped
30g hazelnuts, chopped
30g pepitas, chopped
1Line a baking tin with baking paper. We used 20cm x 20xm tins, but you could use something longer for a thinner bark.
2Make a date paste: submerge chopped dates into hot water and let steep for 1 minute. Then use a fork or hand blender to mix into a paste.
3Melt coconut oil and transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in date paste, cacao powder, Shakes powder, vanilla extract and salt.
4Mix the chopped nuts and pepitas together.
5Pour chocolate mixture into the lined tray and sprinkle nuts over the top - gently press the nuts into the chocolate so they’re still sitting at the top, but will be held firmly in place once set.
6Place in the fridge for 2 hours to harden up before chopping into 16 portions.
Notes:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Great for gifting to the chocolate lovers in your life!
- You can buy our Shakes for this recipe in the UK, Australia or New Zealand - find them at our online store.
