Superfood Matcha Green Tea Chocolate Bark

This Matcha Green Tea & White Chocolate Bark post is sponsored by my friends at Aiya America —providers of the BEST Matcha Green Tea 🙂

If you’re looking for a perfect homemade Holiday gift this year, or a perfect treat for yourself—here it is! A  Matcha Green Tea Chocolate Bark recipe is my top pick for you. 

Love the Holidays! Love the food, the mood and everything that comes with it..and I absolutely love Homemade Holiday Gifts. Especially if they’re something like this Matcha Green Tea White Chocolate Bark!

Aside from how absolutely divine these barks are, they’re super festive too. Vibrant gorgeous colors, amazing textures and rich flavors with plenty of rich superfoods to put an extra smile on your face while you enjoy chocolate!

Why you need to make this Matcha White Chocolate Bark recipe this Christmas:

This emerald green Matcha chocolate bark is absolutely divine with the unbeatable flavor of Matcha green tea and plenty of superfood toppings.

The crunch from the pistachios, chia seeds, and almonds with the sweet chewy goji berries, dried wild blueberries and apricots are all rounded off with the sweet vegetal flavor and antioxidant power of matcha green tea!

Have you guys made chocolate bark before? Well, let me tell you it’s so easy, and yet so divine which makes these little rounds my go-to pick when I need to give a homemade gift.

Plus you can dress these with endless toppings—so feel free to customize them your taste or your guests’ taste.

Today I’m picking a variety of superfood toppings to pair beautifully with my matcha green tea flavor and health benefits. Pistachios, almonds, dried blueberries, goji berries, chia seeds, and dried apricots.

Just imagine all those flavors and textures combined together with every bite of pure Matcha lush!

Why I love baking and cooking with Matcha: 

Now, if the word Matcha doesn’t ring a bell for you let me tell you: You are MISSING out!

Even though it’s green tea, I rarely refer to it as green tea, only because it doesn’t compare to what we know as green tea. Matcha is the pure leaf of tea, grown ONLY in the shades, ALWAYS handpicked, dried and ground by VERY slow and low friction stone mills, then whisked by a bamboo stick.

So the result is a vibrant emerald GREEN colored powder, a deep taste of pure green tea leaves with a sweet note, velvety smooth feel and a load of NUTRIENT! So clearly, matcha is NOT your average green tea.

How to make Superfood Matcha White Chocolate Bark: 

Gather all your ingredients and chop or grate the white chocolate.

Now, you’ll melt your finely chopped white chocolate and then add the Matcha green tea powder to it.

Once you whisk them together, the white chocolate turns a bright emerald green color. On a parchment lined baking sheet, you’ll spoon a tablespoon at a time of the matcha chocolate mixture.

It will flatten into that perfect round shape you see. You can always adjust any edges or tops with the spoon.

Then you’ll start sprinkling your favorite toppings and let the chocolate bark set. When I’m rushed, I’ll chill the tray in the fridge to set faster.

This Matcha Green Tea & White Chocolate Bark is NOT your average chocolate bark!

Nope, it doesn’t even come close and it doesn’t taste like a sugary overload of chocolate with a type of nut.

It tastes like smooth mild white chocolate balanced with an earthy clean green tea note. When you add the toppings, you’ll taste some crunchy pistachios, almonds and delicate chia seeds with chewy dried apricots, blueberries and goji berries.

While all the toppings are totally optional, I strongly recommend you keep the goji berries—they’re a powerful anti oxidant and anti-inflammatory (among many other benefits), and the chia seeds (they are loaded with fibre, protein and omega 3).

These two ingredients combined with the benefits of Matcha green tea, make this divine little treat a healthy powerful one too.

Did I mention that these matcha white chocolate bark rounds are also easily made in advance? I’ve given away a few of those little bags already and everyone’s been asking for more!

I pack every 3 or 4 in a small bag stacked up and then I tie it up with a small string. That way the toppings on the matcha chocolate bark don’t get smushed. Don’t worry if it looks like a smallish gift, you can give them by the 3 and 4 bags! I do that 🙂

I can’t urge you enough to make this Green Tea White Chocolate Bark as little Holiday gifts this year. Everyone will enjoy it. Plus you can prepare these chocolate bark rounds well in advance and dress them up endlessly.

Tips for success: 

• For a faster setting, you can chill your chocolate bark in the fridge.
• Add any chopped nuts or fruit on top. Dried blueberries, candied ginger or freeze-dried strawberries also taste delicious.
• For the superfood version, stick to chia seeds and goji berries and enjoy the added benefits of antioxidants and omega-3.
• The Matcha Chocolate barks can be kept in the fridge in an airtight sealed container lined with parchment paper for a month and a half, or at room temperature for three weeks for optimal taste and freshness of the toppings.
