The newest seasonal dessert on our radar? Chocolate barks filled with different types of fruit. Sure, we love ourChocolate Nut BarkandPeppermint-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Barkthat are well-suited for the holidays, but the fruit fillings in these viral versions add a fresh, summery flair in each bite.

This High-Protein Yogurt Cup Dessert Tastes Like a Snickers Bar

For this recipe, you only need 2 ounces of 80% dark chocolate, 1 cup of blueberries and 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut. Before following along, have your dark chocolate melted and ready to go.

Before putting the dessert in the refrigerator, Selma tops off the soon-to-be bark with shredded coconut. This part is entirely optional, but we think the combination of blueberries and coconut will add a needed sweetness to the dark chocolate.

Let the blueberry-chocolate bark sit in the fridge for at least an hour. Once chilled, you can cut it into pieces and enjoy as you please! This would be an especially easy dessert to make ahead: just let it chill overnight and have it anytime the next day.

It’s delicious, simple and boastsanti-inflammatory properties, thanks to the blueberries. Including this dessert alongside other anti-inflammatory foods in your diet can help relieve inflammation in your body and itssymptoms, including joint stiffness, digestive issues and high blood pressure.

A healthy, chocolaty, simple treat for hot summer days? It’s not too good to be true! Once you have finished appreciating this three-ingredient blueberry bark, taste one of our easy, seasonal, oven-free desserts like ourNo-Bake Berry Cheesecake Barsand ourOrange-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark.
