And with just 117 calories per serving, you won’t feel guilty about eating it and sharing it.
This quick and easy recipe is a definitely a keeper as far as I’m concerned. It calls for just a few simple ingredients, stirs together in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to turn on the stove or oven.
The only appliance you need is a microwave (affiliate link) to melt the chocolate.
What more could a chocolate loving woman with lazy tendencies want?

Recipe Notes
You can modify this WW chocolate bark recipe in lots of ways too. It was my idea to add some sliced almonds and dried cranberries and sprinkle a little coconut on top to dress it up a bit. Next time I’m planning to add some crispy rice cereal.

This sounds great, but what do you do with the butter? Its not mentioned anywhere but in the ingredient list. Thanks!
3 PP per serving is great for that! I am going to pick up some natural marshmallows at Whole Foods and make a version of this 🙂
