How to make Prune Bark
- Step 1
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange the prunes closely on the tray, ensuring no gaps. Use a fork to flatten them, pressing firmly so they stick together and form a solid base for the bark.
- Step 2
Top with sliced banana and drizzle with peanut butter. Scatter the almond flakes on top.
- Step 3
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate over the bark, ensuring it covers everything. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
- Step 5
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then place the baking sheet in the fridge for 60 minutes until the chocolate sets. Remove from the fridge and chop into 12 pieces.
