These Raspberry Chocolate Bites are a delightful, bite-sized treat combining the tartness of fresh or frozen raspberries with the rich sweetness of dark chocolate. Enhanced with chia seeds for texture and nutritional boost, these no-bake bites are perfect as a healthy snack or a guilt-free dessert. They are easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free, and beautifully balance fruity and chocolate flavors with a hint of sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or 2 cups frozen raspberries)
  • 2 1/4 tablespoons chia seeds

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Jam: If using frozen raspberries, thaw them by letting them sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours or microwaving slowly, then drain any excess liquid. Mash the raspberries in a bowl with a fork, then stir in the chia seeds. If using fresh raspberries, wash them under cool water and dry thoroughly, then mash and mix with chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to thicken into a jam-like consistency.
  2. Form the Bites and Freeze: Using a tablespoon, drop small mounds of the raspberry chia jam onto a parchment-lined tray. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze the mounds until completely firm, about 15 minutes.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Slowly melt the dark chocolate chips either over low heat on the stove, stirring constantly to prevent seizing, or in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between. Ensure the chocolate is smooth and fully melted before proceeding.
  4. Dip the Raspberry Bites: Using a fork, dip each frozen raspberry chia bite into the melted chocolate, then gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Quickly sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before the chocolate sets.
  5. Final Freeze and Serve: Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment and freeze for an additional 10 minutes or until the chocolate is firm. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate for best balance of sweetness and richness.
  • Frozen raspberries work well, just ensure they are well thawed and drained.
  • Chia seeds not only thicken but also add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Sprinkling sea salt enhances the chocolate’s flavor and balances sweetness.
  • These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
