Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 cup dark chocolate chips (minimum 70% cacao for rich flavor)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smooth melting)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds and pistachios work beautifully)

Sea salt (for a touch of savory contrast)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added depth)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberries: Start by gently rinsing the fresh raspberries under cold water. After washing, carefully pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensuring they are completely dry will prevent unwanted ice crystals from forming when frozen.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is silky smooth, which typically takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes total. If you’ve chosen to use vanilla extract, mix it in once the chocolate is fully melted for enhanced flavor.

      Coat the Raspberries: Using a fork, dip each dried raspberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated raspberry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process until all raspberries are covered.

        Add the Toppings: While the chocolate remains slightly wet, generously sprinkle a few chopped nuts over each raspberry. Finish off with a delicate pinch of sea salt to elevate the flavors and provide a gourmet finish.

          Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the Raspberry Chocolate Bites freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely solid.

            Serve: Once frozen, transfer the delectable Raspberry Chocolate Bites into an airtight container for storage. Keep them in the freezer to enjoy these delightful sweet treats directly from the freezer whenever you crave something special.
