What else was I going to do with kale during a ‘Treats and Sweets’ month?
Seriously, I came up with several ideas. Many that are not ready for spabettie just yet,
but these? Several taste testers have approved – vegan or not! They all loved these.
and to my surprise, they were still crunchy and crisp, even after a few days – still delicious!
chocolate dipped sugared kale chips
kale
coconut sugar
chocolate - melted
Wash and dry kale. Tear / cut leaves into small pieces, removing ribs and stems. Arrange in single layer on baking pan or dehydrator sheet. Sprinkle with coconut sugar.
Oven: bake at 250-275 for 45 – 60 minutes.
Dehydrator: 145 for 2-3 hours.
Once dried, brush with chocolate and allow to dry.

I JUST saw chocolate dipped kale at Whole Foods. I’m totally doing this. In 2 weeks. My post competition recipe list is so long. And you’re taking up half of it. Lol!
yay, I love to hear that! it’s kinda like I get to celebrate with you after, right? XXO!
What a fun idea. Love love kale but definitely would never think to use it as a sweet treat.
Whoa. I never though about combining kale and chocolate before?!
it’s very good!
Chocolate and kale? Hmm. I like kale, I like chocolate. I’ll think about this one
you will love it!
Max and I would be all over this! Tony would kill me for teasing with a sweet treat that is ruined with kale. I may have to make these when I’m trying to get on his nerves…
haa! yes please, and make sure to tell him I had a hand in it!
Interesting…I would’ve never thought of this one. Worth a try for sure.
yes it is definitely worth a try – these were more fabulous than I thought they would be!
I almost did chocolate kale chips, glad I went with breakfast instead.
I don’t think anyone with good tastebuds can dislike kale chips, especially with added chocolate!
haa! I’m actually surprised that everyone makes such different things each week – no overlaps or similar recipes – such a creative group we are!
Woah…..I have some kale chips that I dried over the weekend. OOOH…I may go and get myself some chocolate to go with ‘em. I would NEVER have put them together myself, but really, why not? Kale is good, chocolate is good…
Have a great week Kris.
yes you should add chocolate, please do!
and thank you, Roz, I hope your week is fantastic as well!
love kale! with everything
me too!
I went to Veg Fest in Portland last month and that was the first place I tried chocolate covered kale. Crazy party in your mouth for sure. So now I can make it at home and it’s got a nice extra sugar hit, too. Thanks. : )
ooh, I didn’t get to attend Portland’s Veg Fest this year, I always love it so! these are so easy to make, enjoy!!
Whooaaaa. I would never have thought to put kale and chocolate in the same sentence. Awesome!
I have to ask you… do you always bake your kale chips at such a low temp for such a long time? or just this recipe with the chocolate?
and it is SO good! I was so happy with these, that they remained crispy with the chocolate, for days!
I don’t bake mine, I use my dehydrator. I give the oven instructions as an alternative, and the low temp and time is as close to using a dehydrator as I can get. I know it can be done faster at higher temps, I’ve not done that.
this is going too far, looks gross.
I know this isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea” – and have heard a few people saying so the last couple days – they were nicer about it though.
Oh, girl, that kale! You just know I had to share it on my kale round-up today! LOL
