Chocolate Matcha Bark Bites
Yields 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 C dark chocolate chips
- ½ C white chocolate chips
- 2 t liquid coconut oil
- 1 scoop Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen
- 1/4 C raw pistachios
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and measure out each of the ingredients.
2. Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute, stopping to stir every 20 seconds. Should you choose to melt over the stove, keep the temperature on low heat, continuously stirring until smooth. Once melted, spread the chocolate over the parchment paper.
3. Place the baking sheet into the freezer or refrigerator for a minimum of 5 minutes. While the dark chocolate is cooling, begin to melt the white chocolate chips in the same manner. Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the liquid coconut oil and matcha until smooth.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer or refrigerator and spread or drizzle the white chocolate mix over the dark chocolate. Feel free to get creative here! While the white chocolate mixture remains in its liquid form, add the pistachios for topping.
