Day 12: 21 Day Detox with a Quick, Easy, Pecan, Cranberry, and Toasted Coconut Bark

 

I can't believe it's already day 12 of the 21 Day Detox! Time is moving so fast, it's almost hard to keep up!

Yesterday I posted my Vegetable Lasagna which was a huge hit with all my foodie friends.

Today, I wanted to do a sweet treat for us.

My Quick and Easy, Pecan, Cranberry, & Toasted Coconut bark is the perfect snack!

 
Now, I used half dark and half milk chocolate, using all dark is a much healthier alternative.

The husband doesn't like dark chocolate, this was the compromise I made with him.

The hardest part of making this snack is waiting for it to set up in the refrigerator, it took about 1 hour.

I think I just created my new favorite sweet treat!

Enjoy
