So you're planning a dinner party. You've invited your more intrepid friends and it feels like the right time to take them on a journey. Or, you're going to someone else's party and you want to surprise and delight that gang. No matter the occasion, this chocolate bark recipe will score you some major points. The recipe is loaded with antioxidant ingredients like cacao nibs, matcha green tea and sesame seeds. I always start with a recipe I love and modify it for the infused twist. But beware, dosing when cooking infused foods can be a little complicated. It's never a one-for-one replacement—so be sure to follow the recipe. Before getting started, make the coconut oil infusion. You can totally DIY this without the help of special equipment. But if you go that route, give yourself a lot of time. For the quick, no-fuss method definitely equip yourself with the LEVO Oil Infuser.
