Dark Chocolate Mango Bars

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Decadent dark chocolate drizzled over layers of bright mango curd and shortbread. Delicious straight from the oven or chilled, these chocolate mango bars are an easy, scrumptious way to celebrate the bright, tropical fruit. A sweet, shareable summer dessert!

I am in a serious relationship with these dark chocolate mango bars. They don’t take too much work, are incredibly delicious, and have just enough drama to keep me interested. The warm and vibrant colors invite you in, but the tangy, smooth bite seals the deal. Buttery shortbread acts as the base for a simple mango curd and rich chocolate drizzle. Trust me – they are as good as they look!

Mangoes are an exciting and refreshing addition to any dessert. Their scent, color, sweetness, and bright flavor contrast perfectly with rich dark chocolate. Less than 10 ingredients and you can have your own sumptuous batch of these beauties. The bars are ready in under an hour and are similar to lemon bars in texture, with a thicker shortbread layer and a tropical twist!
