½cuppeanut buttersmooth or crunchy, about 125-130 g (you might need more depending on the size of each layer you prefer)
1½cupsdark chocolate chips(about 9 oz. or 255 g)
1tablespooncoconut oil(about 15 mL)
Flaky saltfor for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Raspberry Mixture:
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the frozen raspberries (if you are using fresh raspberries, skip this step).
Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until the raspberries are defrosted. Use a fork to gently mash them.
Add the chia seeds to the raspberries, mixing until well combined.
Let the mixture stand for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the raspberries slightly.
Form the Raspberry Bites:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Using a spoon, form the raspberry mixture into approximately 14 rounds, using about 2 tablespoons (about 30 mL) for each.
Freeze the rounds for at least 3 hours, or until they have hardened.
Add Peanut Butter:
Once frozen, add about ½ tablespoon (about 7.5 mL) of peanut butter on top of each raspberry bite.
Return to the freezer for an additional hour to harden the peanut butter.
Coat with Chocolate:
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate and oil are fully melted and combined.
Dip each raspberry bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring each one is fully coated.
Place the coated bites back onto the parchment paper-lined baking tray. Quickly garnish with flaky sea salt! The chocolate should harden almost instantly.
Enjoy and Store:
Once the chocolate has set, your raspberry bites are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container to enjoy later.
