Ingredients
  

1 cup smooth, unsweetened almond butter

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for optional drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a spatula or whisk, stir the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

    Layer the Blueberries: Take an 8x8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, making sure the paper drapes slightly over the edges for easy removal later. Pour half of the almond butter mixture into the lined pan and spread it evenly across the bottom using a spatula.

      Add Blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the blueberries over the almond butter layer. Gently press the blueberries down into the mixture to help them adhere and stay in place during freezing.

        Top with Remaining Almond Butter: Pour the remaining almond butter mixture over the blueberries, using a spatula to smooth it out neatly until all the blueberries are completely covered with almond butter.

          Add Toppings: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the almond butter layer. If you would like to incorporate chocolate, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bark in a decorative zigzag pattern.

            Freeze: Carefully place the pan in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 2 hours or until fully firm and solid.

              Cut and Serve: Once the bark has hardened, lift it out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut the bark into bite-sized pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for a delightful treat anytime!
