Chocolate Pistachio Date Bark
Chocolate Pistachio Date Bark is my twist on the viral Dubai chocolate. I swapped in puffed quinoa for the knafeh to provide that crispy crunch, creating a guilt-free indulgence that combines rich, low-sugar dark chocolate with nutrient-dense ingredients. With pistachio butter for a silky finish and naturally sweet dates, this treat delivers a satisfying crunch while offering nourishment with every bite.

- Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper and press the dates flat using a rolling pin.
- Spread pistachio butter evenly over the dates.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl (microwave or stove top), then stir in the puffed quinoa.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the pistachio butter and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes, then slice or break into pieces and enjoy!
- Pisachio Butter: Blend 1 cup of roasted shelled pistachios in a food processor until crumbly. Slowly drizzle in 1-3 teaspoons of avocado oil, blending until smooth, adding more if needed for a creamy consistency. Mix in ¼ tsp salt and ½ tbsp powdered sweetener. Blend until fully combined.
- Puffed Quinoa: Rinse & dry the quinoa, then add 3 tbsp at a time to a hot pan on medium-high heat. In seconds, it starts to pop & puff—just like magic! Remove & repeat with remaining quinoa.:
