I’m sure you know dark chocolate is good for you. That’s great news for those of us who love it. There are other delicious superfoods too–like pistachios and almonds, and we’ve combined them into one mouth-watering recipe.
These dark chocolate superfood bites are so rich and tasty, and because you make them with dark chocolate (not milk chocolate) and good-for-you add-ins, you don’t have to feel guilty about indulging once in a while.
Dark Chocolate Superfood Bites Recipe
This simple recipe is made with dark chocolate and a variety of nuts and dried fruits (pistachios, almonds, dried apricots, cranberries, and raisins are shown here).
First, you’ll want to chop any nuts that are on the larger size, and then lay a piece of parchment paper out on the countertop or table.
Next, chop the chocolate pieces and microwave until melted.
Drop the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper, adding the nuts and dried fruits to each chocolate “bite” while it is still warm.
Let the chocolate cool at room temperature. Once these are set, you can store in the refrigerator if you’d prefer.
Allow the chocolate to cool by leaving it setting out at room temperature.
Dark Chocolate Superfood Bites
Prep Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 oz. of dark chocolate
- a variety of nuts and dried fruits pistachios, almonds, dried apricots, cranberries, and raisins are shown here
Instructions
-
Chop any nuts that are on the larger side. You want to be able to taste the variety of fruits and nuts and not have any one in particular dominating the flavor.
-
Lay a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface.
-
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces, and place in a bowl. Microwave the chocolate for 60 seconds, stir, and then microwave again for another 30 seconds. Continue for 30 seconds (stirring each time) until the chocolate is fully melted.
-
Using a spoon, make small rounds of chocolate on the parchment paper to your desired size.
-
Simply allow the chocolate to drip from the spoon, and it will naturally take a circular shape. Size of medallions in photos is approximately 2 ½ inches.
-
Add the nuts and dried fruits to each chocolate “bite” while it is still warm. (See photo.)
-
Allow the chocolate to cool by leaving it setting out at room temperature.
