Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need:

  • 1 cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of dried fruit of your choice (we recommend apricots, cherries, cranberries, or raisins)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of finely chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans are all great options)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of coconut oil (to make the chocolate extra creamy and smooth)

Instructions

To make this recipe, begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat for 30 seconds at a time. Stir the chocolate between each heating cycle, and continue heating until the chocolate has melted. Once the chocolate is melted, add the dried fruit and finely chopped nuts (if using) to the bowl, and stir until all pieces are evenly coated in chocolate.

Next, spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to keep the pieces separate. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to harden. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the chocolate is hardened, the chocolate-covered dried fruit is ready to eat!

Equipment

To make this recipe you will need the following equipment:

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper or wax paper
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 spoon or spatula

Notes

This recipe can be easily customized to your own taste. Feel free to use different types of chocolate (milk, white, or dark) or different types of dried fruit. You can also add chopped nuts or shredded coconut for an extra crunchy texture. If you want to make your chocolate extra creamy, you can also add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
