Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks ever. So naturally, I had to cover it with chocolate and make it into a healthier treat. This Salted Dark Chocolate Popcorn Bark with Almond Butter is a delicious way to enjoy your favorite popcorn.
This is the healthier treat. It would be great to package up and give out at the holidays. Personally I am obsessed. Yes it does have sugar in it, but if you use dark chocolate it is actually on the healthier side. Plus the nut butter adds some healthy fats. Yum.
I love a good no bake dessert. For more yummy no bake desserts try my no bake salted tahini date bars or my raw cinnamon rolls.
