This 2-ingredient chocolate chickpea bark makes a great snack or healthy post meal treat!
I have yet another super simple, few ingredient treat for you that’s ready in no time and requires minimal effort and washing up to do after.
My partner bought me some chocolate chickpeas a couple of weeks ago and that inspired me to make my own at home. It was such a simple concept and I thought it would be so much cheaper to make my own at home and they’re really easy to make too.
All you have to do is roast the chickpeas in the oven for 35-40 minutes until nice and crunchy, then mix them in chocolate while still hot so they melt the chocolate and coat them. Then all there’s left to do is transfer the mixture onto a baking sheet and leave to cool. Once set, break them up into bite sized crunchy clusters!
Because they only consist of chickpeas and dark chocolate, they make for a healthier treat when you’re craving chocolate or something sweet, but they also have that lovely satisfying crunch that we all look for in a snack! It’s an easy way to get some extra protein and goodness into your diet, whilst enjoying a delicious treat!
What you need to make this 2-ingredient chocolate chickpea bark:
Chickpeas – use canned chickpeas for ease. You can also use dried chickpeas that have been cooked and cooled. You’ll need around 240g cooked chickpeas. They’re a great source of fibre and some extra protein. They also don’t have an overpowering taste, so they work really well here!
Chocolate – I always use dark chocolate, but any chocolate will work really.
Optional toppings – I love sprinkling sesame seeds or chopped nuts for extra crunch and healthy fats. I’ve also use desiccated coconut in the past. Chopped up dried fruit will also work, or you can drizzle some white chocolate or melted Biscoff spread on top too!
