Ingredients:
- 12 ounces vegan chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried cranberries, sea salt flakes
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between), melt the vegan chocolate chips until smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Toast the Coconut: While the chocolate is melting, lightly toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. This enhances the flavor and texture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spread the Chocolate: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the melted chocolate. Add any other optional toppings you desire.
- Chill and Break: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Once hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces.
- Enjoy! Store the Vegan Chocolate Coconut Bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Tips & Variations:
- Use high-quality vegan chocolate for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate for a salty-sweet flavor.
- Drizzle with vegan white chocolate for a decorative touch.
