Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
Measure out 1 cup of raisins and ensure they are free of any clumps. Set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil (optional, to help the chocolate melt smoothly).
Microwave the chocolate chips on HIGH for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total depending on your microwave’s power.
Once the chocolate is melted, pour the raisins into the bowl and stir thoroughly to coat all the raisins evenly in the chocolate.
Using a fork or a small spoon, transfer the chocolate-coated raisins onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, spreading them out so they do not clump together.
Let the chocolate-covered raisins cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you want them to set faster.
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the raisins to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately as a snack.
