any excuse to sneak chocolate into my meals – or my snacks, mind – is welcome in my book… when it’s not as bad for me i’m doubly euphoric, of course. these superfood (i.e. dried fruit and nuts) dark chocolate nibbles are good for you, minus the often involved guilty pleasure compensation.

i created them for a special project i had going on with si style magazine*, a small recipe booklet dedicated to “beauty food” inspired recipes. naturally, when i spotted a version of these – and actually they seem to be all over the interwebs, especially pinterest now, hello, foodie trend! – i couldn’t help but turn them into my own version, adding some healthy spirulina for an extra healthy plus.

* unfortunately, it’s in german and only available in print, but many of the recipes have or will be featured here on fork + flower. it was still very exciting to see an actual, real life, analog print magazine – with some renommé, even – feature my recipes and pictures.
