Who doesn’t love candy? But, when you transition over to real food, many people think candy is a thing of the past. I’m here to tell you that while traditional store-bought candy may no longer fit into your style of eating, there are still ways to make HEALTHY candy at home!

Chocolate bark is one of the easiest homemade candies to make. You only need a few simple ingredients and the best thing is that you get to control the quality of the ingredients you use. That way you know exactly what is in there and don’t end up with any weird, questionable things you can’t pronounce.

The base of your chocolate bark is as simple as melting chocolate chips or a chopped up chocolate bar together with a little fat (like butter or coconut oil). Then, you can add any flavorings you like. You can also add things like nuts, seeds, dried fruit, dried coconut, or sea salt.

The sky really is the limit and you can get as creative and whimsical as you like! You could even use white chocolate in place of regular chocolate for a fun spin (try white chocolate with dried cranberries and walnuts — YUM!).

I have been addicted to the flavors of chocolate, hazelnut, and sea salt together, so I am sharing my fast and easy recipe for Hazelnut Sea Salt Chocolate Bark with you today! I really hope you enjoy! Make sure you check out the section below the recipe for more healthy candy ideas!
