Orange-zested Chocolate Bark with Berries

Chocolate has been promoted as a healthy ingredient for a variety of reasons, including its flavanol content, which can have a positive effect on hear...t health. However, simply adding your favourite chocolate bar to your regular diet and expecting it to benefit your health is misguided. Try a small piece of our fruit and nut loaded chocolate bark to reap the true benefits of chocolate. Chocolate may have been found to have some marginal benefits, but it’s your overall lifestyle that determines health outcomes. That being said, I eat a small amount of good-quality dark chocolate as a treat. The bitter notes of chocolate with 75 per cent (or higher) cocoa content can be overwhelming for those used to the average high-street chocolate bar, so I’ve introduced other sweet notes into this bark recipe, which will help ease you into appreciating the deep flavours of dark chocolate.
