Salted Dark Chocolate Mini Egg Crackle


I always get super excited around easter time because it means all the mini eggs! The only problem is, they are filled with so much sugar that I always feel guilty eating too many in one sitting. I made this chocolate crackle recipe so that I could fill my craving for mini eggs in a healthy-ish way. You still get to eat mini eggs but the dark chocolate is the main ingredient making it more filling and leaving your chocolate craving satisfied! I am not saying these are healthy, but they are a healthier alternative to eating an entire bag of mini eggs in one sitting (which I am guilty of doing on occasion, it's all about balance right?).


INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Dark Chocolate (I like to get unsweetened and sweeten it myself with maple syrup)
½ Cup Puffed Rice Cereal
¼ Cup Maple Syrup or Honey (skip this if you get a pre-sweetened dark chocolate)
2 TBSP Coconut Oil
¼ Cup Mini eggs, crushed (I used cookies & cream mini eggs to add a different flavour)
½ TSP Sea Salt

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Line a dish with parchment paper and set aside (I used an 11 x 5 inch baking dish, but since you are not baking it you can use any type of dish as long as you use parchment paper so it doesn't stick)
  2. Using a double boiler method or microwave, melt chocolate until smooth
  3. Mix in maple syrup, coconut oil and puffed rice
  4. Pour mixture into your lined baking dish and even out with a spatula
  5. Sprinkle mixture with crushed mini eggs and sea salt
  6. Freeze for at least 1 hour
  7. Let sit for a few minutes before cutting into whatever size squares you desire

ENJOY!
