Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups blanched almond flour Creates a safe, no-raw-flour cookie dough texture. Substitute: heat-treated all-purpose flour or oat flour.
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter Binds the dough. Substitutions: sunflower seed butter for nut-free or almond butter for extra nuttiness.
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup Natural sweetness with a caramel note. Substitute: honey or agave syrup.

Instructions
Preparation
- Line a small baking sheet or a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, peanut butter, and maple syrup until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Pour half the melted chocolate onto the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the chocolate and flatten them.
- Swirl the remaining melted chocolate over the top to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle optional flaky sea salt or extra chocolate chips and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until set.
- Once firm, lift out the parchment and break the bark into irregular pieces.
Notes
Consider drizzling white chocolate and adding sprinkles for holiday variations. For a nuttier flavor, use almond butter. To make it vegan, ensure the chocolate is dairy-free.
