]]> “You can never, ever go wrong with dark chocolate.” Do you agree or disagree? I personally love the richness and bold flavor of dark chocolate, but if you find it to be too rich, try adding some sea salt to balance out the sweetness.

]]> The holidays have passed, but you are still craving all those sweet treats and want to get back on track? How about some dark chocolate superfood bites that are delicious, simple to make, and look like pieces of art!! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and toppings can be substituted for other nuts and dried fruits that you prefer.

Ingredients   

8 oz. dark chocolate chopped 

12 Tbsp. raw pistachio pieces

12 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

12 Tbsp. unsweetened dried cranberries 

1 tsp. coarse sea salt

Instructions                   

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.       
  2. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave for 60 seconds on 50%; stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds on 50%; stir until chocolate is completely melted. If needed, microwave for an additional 30 seconds on 50%. Do not overcook. Chocolate will melt as you stir it.       
  3. Use a spoon to make twenty four small rounds of chocolate onto the parchment paper.   
  4. Working while chocolate is still warm, sprinkle chocolate rounds evenly with nuts, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and salt (if desired). 
  5. Let the chocolate set at room temperature, or put the bites in the refrigerator to speed things up.
