Vegan Cranberry Crunch Bark is a healthier, holiday-themed version of a crunch bar. It's a great gift or a festive snack.
One of my favorite things about cooking is cooking for other people. It's so fun to create delicious food that friends and family can enjoy.
Food can be cooked from the heart, which makes it an extra special gift, especially around the holidays. And the fun, festive winter flavors make all holiday foods taste that much better.
Let's be real: cranberry crunch bars > plain crunch bars. Add a touch of orange juice and zest, and WOW you've got yourself a delicious, holiday-themed chocolate bar. Let's jump in!
This Vegan Cranberry Crunch Bars recipe only has four ingredients!
Step 1. Line a container or baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a microwave-safe dish, heat the chocolate on 50% power. Stir every 30-60 seconds to avoid burning the chocolate.
Step 3. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the puffed grain, cranberries, and orange zest.
Step 4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the parchment-lined container. Smooth out the top of the chocolate to create an even layer.
Step 5. Refrigerate for at least one hour, until the chocolate is hardened. Break into chunks and enjoy!
Preparation: This bark doesn't require much work, so there isn't a lot you can prep. If you want to mince the cranberries and zest the orange ahead of time, you definitely can.
Storage: Since this Vegan Cranberry Crunch Bark has fresh fruit, it's best practice to store it in the fridge. This will prevent the cranberries and orange from going bad.
If you plan to eat all of the bark within a few days, you can store it at room temperature. Just watch for melting!
Thank you God for seasonal foods that help us lean in to the true meaning of the holidays. Amen.
