Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries, raisins, or chopped dried apricots)
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the chopped nuts and dried fruit until well-coated.
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt onto the top of each chocolate drop for an added burst of flavor.
Allow the chocolate drops to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate drops are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your Speedy Chocolate Drop Candy as a delightful snack or dessert!
