WHY THESE ARE THE MOST DELICIOUS SWEET TREATS

When it comes to culinary pairings, chocolate and raspberry have a match made in heaven. The bitter-sweetness of chocolate harmonizes beautifully with the tartness of raspberries, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. 

Raspberry jam, with its vibrant red hue and intense fruitiness, adds a burst of freshness to the indulgent chocolate coating. The contrasting textures and complementary tastes make chocolate-covered raspberry jam bites a truly divine treat.

One of the reasons chocolate-covered raspberry jam bites are so irresistible is their conveniently bite-sized nature. These small morsels offer the perfect balance between a rich chocolate shell and a luscious raspberry center. 

They are the ideal treat for those moments when you crave something sweet but don’t want to commit to a full-sized dessert. You can pop one or two in your mouth and savor the delightful combination of flavors without feeling overly indulgent.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THE CHOCOLATE COVERED RASPBERRY CHIA JAM BITES

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make these chocolate truffles (the exact measurements are in the printable recipe card below):

• Fresh raspberries
• Chia seeds
• Dark chocolate chips – alternatively you can use white chocolate or milk chocolate.

• Optional – can add in a nut butter such as peanut butter or creamy cashew butter. Can also add pure maple syrup, lemon juice, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE CUPS

1. On a small plate, mash raspberries with the back of a fork until they resemble jam. 
2. Add in the chia seeds and mix. Let sit for 5 minutes for the raspberry mixture to thicken.

4. Freeze for 60 minutes until the raspberry bites are solid.
5. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals or by using the double boiler method. Dip the raspberry bites into the dark chocolate coating. Pour excess chocolate overtop as well as course flakey sea salt.
6. Put in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate has set. Enjoy!

HOW TO STORE THE DECADENT DARK CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BITES

Storing your chocolate-covered raspberry jam bites properly is crucial to maintaining their freshness and preserving their deliciousness. Here are some tips on how to store them:

1. Refrigeration:It is best to store your chocolate-covered raspberry jam bites in the refrigerator. Place them in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag to protect them from moisture and prevent any odors from affecting their flavor. The cool temperature of the refrigerator will help keep the chocolate firm and prevent it from melting, especially during warmer months.
2. Layering:To prevent these from sticking together, you can layer them between sheets of parchment paper or wax paper inside the container. This will ensure that they maintain their individual shapes and textures without merging.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat:Keep your raspberry jam bites away from direct sunlight or any sources of heat, such as stoves or ovens. Exposure to heat can cause the chocolate to melt and lose its texture, compromising the overall taste and appearance of the bites.
4. Consumption Time:For the best flavor and texture, it is recommended to consume your chocolate cups within one to two weeks of preparation. While they may still be edible beyond this timeframe, the quality may start to decline as the chocolate and jam may dry out or develop a stale taste.
