Coco-Nutty Dark Bark
I love making Coco-Nutty Dark Bark ’cause it’s drop-dead simple and infinitely customizable. To be honest, I feel embarrassed even calling this a recipe: all you do is melt the best dark chocolate you can find, and top it with your favorite add-ins.
You can change the toppings to suit your taste, though in my humble opinion, the crowning trio consists of toasted coconut flakes, tangy dried cranberries, and salty roasted macadamia nuts. I’ve even provided some fun printable labels that’ll make your packs of chocolatey goodness look legit.

Gluten-free mug cake kits!
Matcha, Chocolate, or Vanilla Mug Cake Kit
I love quick and easy paleo mug cakes and I bet your pals will, too! To make someone’s holiday a little sweeter, measure out the dry ingredients for one mug cake and package the mix in a clear cellophane bag tied shut with a pretty bow. Attach a printed recipe card and let the lucky gift recipients know that all they have to do is whisk in the wet ingredients before cooking the individual cakes. No matcha? The recipe also includes instructions for chocolate and vanilla mug cakes!
Tuck a bag (or three) in a brand-new coffee mug and voila!
Matcha Mug Cake (Paleo, Gluten-free, Keto-friendly)
