Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 4 ounces high-quality trail mix (a mix of dried fruits, nuts, and seeds)
Instructions
- Prepare parchment paper: Lay out a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface where you will place the chocolate bites to set.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir every 30 seconds to avoid burning and ensure smooth melting.
- Form chocolate circles: Scoop one tablespoon of melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and use the back of a spoon to swirl it gently into a small circular shape for each bite.
- Add trail mix topping: Immediately sprinkle a generous amount of the mixed fruit, nuts, and seeds from your trail mix on top of each chocolate circle before the chocolate hardens.
- Cool and harden: Allow the chocolate bites to cool at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Make sure to stir the chocolate frequently during melting to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize the trail mix with your favorite dried fruits and nuts.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- These bites do not require cooking or baking, making them an easy no-bake treat.
