Dark Chocolate Bark with Goji Berries and Pepitas

Dark chocolate provides an instant mood lift for those holiday blues while it also helps to decrease stress cortisol levels and improve our ability to focus. Dark chocolate is also excellent for your heart, skin, teeth and helps you recover from a tough workout. Just keep in mind that the health benefits come from products with 70% or higher cocoa levels. So go for quality... not quantity!
