Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of raisins
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Add 1 cup of raisins to the melted chocolate and stir until the raisins are fully coated.
- Using a fork or a slotted spoon, transfer the chocolate-covered raisins to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them out so they don't stick together.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
- After 5 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and sift 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder over the chocolate-covered raisins, ensuring an even dusting.
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
- Once set, transfer the cocoa-dusted chocolate covered raisins to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
