Ingredients
- 1 cup of raisins
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Cooking Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. No art class skills required, just make it fit.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave on medium power for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Pretend you’re the Chocolate Whisperer.
- Add the raisins to the melted chocolate. Stir until they’re all friends.
- Using a fork or slotted spoon, lift the chocolate-coated raisins out and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out so they don’t clump together in a choco-raisin hug.
- Let them cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or stick them in the refrigerator if you’re in a rush to munch.
Suggestions
- For a twist, add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate. Sweet and salty? Yes, please!
- Swap raisins with dried cranberries, apricots, or your favorite dried fruit if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut or finely chopped nuts before the chocolate sets for a fancy flair.
- Use a double boiler instead of a microwave to melt the chocolate if you’re feeling particularly chef-like. You do you, fancy pants.
