Quick Chocolate Treat for Holiday Gifts


Want a quick, healthy and delicious holiday gift for friends and neighbors?

I made this dark chocolate pistachio bark in five minutes, and it couldn't have been better. It's from Whole Living Magazine.

Pistachios are a great antioxidant and are high in B6, thiamin and fiber. And the dark chocolate is also an antioxidant that can help lower blood pressure. Sounds good for the holidays.


  • Ingredients
  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (70 percent cacao), melted
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon

  • Directions
  • Lightly coat an 8-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a small overhang. Pour in chocolate and smooth with a spatula into an even layer.

  • Sprinkle with pistachios and sea salt. Chill in fridge until completely set, about 30 minutes. Peel off parchment, and break into pieces.
