Sea Salt, Cherry, and Pistachio Bark satisfy all of my usual cravings in one bite! This bark thin so you don’t have to feel guilty about eating several pieces!

Sea Salt, Cherry and Pistachio Bark!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

If you have been hanging out with me for a while you know that I have a serious soft spot for the classic salty sweet combo. I have a soft spot for other things too like boys (I live with four of them), beef (we raise our own, and cute purses! I know it’s a crazy combination!

I saw “Bark Thins” the other day I knew I wanted to try making some thin bark at home. Since it’s thin, it’s supposed to help keep me from consuming too much chocolate. I already had cherries and pistachios so I decided to try that combination.  I used dark chocolate since it’s supposed to be better for you and curb cravings.

Chop the nuts and cherries pretty finely. Microwave the chocolate for a little bit. I always microwave my chocolate at about half power. Mix the nuts and cherries in with it.

Cherry Pistachio Bark

Spread the goodness on a parchment lined baking sheet. I spread mine as thing as possible. Remember, the whole less calories idea?

Salted Cherry and Pistachio Bark

Sprinkle a few extra cherries, pistachios and sea salt on top. Run the bark downstairs, to the basement and consider it exercise for the day! My storage room is cool and I wanted the bark to set quickly so I put it down there.

Sea Salt, Cherries, and Pistachio Bark! I used dark chocolate and made is super thin so it should almost be good for you!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

Break it into pieces and try not to convince yourself that you can have three times as much because it’s extra thin!

Sea Salt, Cherry and Pistachio Bark

This bark is thinner than most, and packed with good for you cherries and pistachios, so you don’t have to feel guilty for not being able to walk away from the goodness!

    I say salt and sugar belong in the basic four food groups.

      After I eat salty I convince myself I need sweet, then salty, then sweet, and it never ends! Salty sweet is my favorite combination!
