I'm obsessed with single-serving desserts. It's the perfect way to embrace food freedom during weight loss, and not have to use ALL YOUR WILLPOWER resisting an entire box of cookies or batch of cupcakes. This one is great too, because not only is it under 350 calories, it also has 6 g of fiber, not to mention sugar sources that have a lower glycemic load (around 18) when compared to a traditional candy bar (around 22-33). For weight-management, this is great, because if you're at a calorie deficit, you want to avoid those rapid blood sugar swings that can create extra-annoying cravings. Finally, I have Celiac, so I designed this recipe to be gluten-free as well! Bonus.

Ingredients

25 g certified gluten-free dark chocolate morsels 85% cacao -- I used Pascha brand**
4 pitted dates, approximately 35 g -- I used Mariani brand, although dates are naturally gluten free**
2 tsp crumbled table crackers certified gluten-free, approximately 6 g -- I used Glutino brand**
1 tsp roasted salted pepitas labelled gluten-free, approximately 3 g -- I used Sincerely Nuts pumpkin seeds roasted and salted**
1 tsp sweetened coconut flakes labelled gluten-free, approximately 2 g -- I used Dulzura brand, available at Walmart**
1-2 pinches flakey sea salt or 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Melt the chocolate fully.
Between 2 pieces of parchment paper, roll out the 4 dates using a rolling pin. The pieces should stick together. Roll it out as thin as you can.
Crumble the cracker pieces all across the thinly rolled dates.
Drizzle the chocolate across the entire top of the thinly rolled dates. Use a spoon or small spatula to coax the melted chocolate in between all the cracker pieces, and to the edge of the date bark.
Sprinkle the top with pepitas, coconut, and salt.
Freeze for approximately 10-15 minutes until chocolate is firm.
Break into a few pieces, and enjoy!
