@seattlehanddoc Not all of our late-night snacks include junk food… and this one absolutely did the trick! We kept seeing these all over social media and finally had to try them—and they’re every bit as good as they look. SO EASY. SO DELICIOUS The best part? We used dark chocolate, so paired with antioxidant-rich fruit like blueberries and pomegranate, these make a delicious, antioxidant-packed treat you’ll want to keep in your freezer! Here’s how we made them: Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth. Line a sheet pan or tray with parchment paper and make little mounds using about ¼ cup of fruit each. We used blueberries and pomegranate arils, but grapes, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, or any fruit you love works great. We just used a Ziploc bag, poured the room temperature melted chocolate into it, and just snipped one corner, and it worked perfectly as a piping bag !! Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over each fruit cluster, then top with crushed pistachios, freeze-dried strawberries, flaky sea salt, or any toppings you love. Freeze for about 30 minutes, then enjoy! They’re easy, customizable, packed with antioxidants from the dark chocolate and fruit, and the perfect little sweet bite to have on hand whenever a craving hits. Save this one for later and let us know what fruit combination you’re trying first! IB: @ferah_kitchen #latenightsnack #easydessert #simplerecipe #antioxidants #sweettreat
