- 1/4 cup ribbon coconut lightly toasted
- 2 Tbsp dried barberries or chopped dried cranberries
- 1 oz dark chocolate

Instructions
- Line 9 x 12 inch shallow-sided baking sheet with parchment paper. A large lasagna pan will also work. Set aside.

Recipe Notes
Mood boost!
Be sure to add a pinch of black pepper whenever using turmeric in a recipe. The two spices are brain-friendly besties! The piperine in black pepper helps your body better absorb an anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric called curcumin—and curcumin may have beneficial effects on memory and mood.
