Raspberry Filled Chocolate Bites

Raspberry Filled Chocolate Bites

There is no world for me where raspberries and chocolate aren’t perfect together. It’s just such a good combo!

Here’s a really SIMPLE and FUN, food-craft to make with the kiddos this weekend!

Just 4 simple ingredients to make these impressive little fruit-filled chocolate treats at home!

Fresh berries are mashed and lightly sweetened with raw honey, then thickened using chia seeds and finished with a crispy coat of dark chocolate.

➡When shopping for ingredients:

Look for a higher percentage of cacao for the chocolate chips, and always read the ingredients.

There are always lots of questions about chocolate brands – I like to visit the specialty (nicer) chocolate section at the stores and find a really high quality, (often organic) dark chocolate bar on SALE – so I’m often trying something different because the sales dictate my purchase.

🍫A high-quality dark chocolate bar works great too! I’ll often find a beautiful organic dark chocolate bar on sale, then chop it up to use for things like this.

I like to buy the highest quality I can find when it’s on SALE! I’m always keeping an eye out for a good deal and will often stock up when a high-quality product is on special.

Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher cacao percentage = more health benefits.

🍯Sweetness Factor is a very personal taste preference, so you may want to use more or less pure maple syrup or raw honey, depending on YOUR family’s specific taste preferences.

9 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 heaping cup of fresh raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and make space in the freezer for it.

In a shallow dish, mash your fresh raspberries using a fork. Add in the chia seeds and honey and stir well to combine.

Spoon this mixture onto the prepared sheet pan with a bit of space in between each one as shown in the video.

You want 9 equal dollops of your raspberry chia mixture.

Freeze for 1 hour, or until very solid.

Melt your chocolate in the microwave on High, in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each one. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler over the stove.

Dip the frozen raspberry bites into your melted chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Gently place them back onto your sheet pan and freeze for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy immediately or place them in a sealed container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Enjoy!
