Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Garnish
- Sea salt flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Wash and dry berries: Thoroughly wash all the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, then pat them completely dry to ensure chocolate adheres properly.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the berries: Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each berry halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off back into the bowl for a neat coating.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the dipped berries on the prepared parchment paper-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out and not touching.
- Add garnish: Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the chocolate-coated parts if you want a hint of savory contrast to the sweet taste.
- Set the chocolate: Refrigerate the baking sheet for 15–20 minutes or until the chocolate coating has fully hardened and set.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the chocolate berry bites chilled or at room temperature for a delicious, fresh, and easy treat.
Notes
- For a fun variation, substitute dark chocolate with white or milk chocolate according to your preference.
- Try drizzling extra melted chocolate over the set bites for an elegant presentation.
- These bites are best eaten within 1–2 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
