Dark chocolate pomegranate bites are a simple tasty treat to eat or give as Christmas gifts. Made to satisfy a sweet tooth!

Three round Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Bites topped with pomegranate seeds, coconut flakes, and nuts sit on parchment paper; one has a bite taken out of it.With Christmas right around the corner, its about time for an all out winter sugar fest. Am I right or am I right? These dark chocolate pomegranate bites are exactly what you need to round out the holiday season. A sweet base with a touch of tart and an underlying nuttiness that brings it all together.

These little morsels are what your cookie platters are lacking ladies and gents. Say goodbye to boring holiday sweets and jazz things up forevermore with the simplest recipe in the world. Its so easy in fact that its barely even a recipe. You pretty much just melt chocolate and then sprinkle some goodies on top and call it a day. Done in a matter of minutes.

A whole pomegranate and several broken pieces with seeds exposed rest on a striped cloth on a wooden surface.

These dark chocolate pomegranate bites have become a go-to treat around here. Beings that they are basically just straight chocolate with a few enhancements!

Normally I’m not a fruit and chocolate kind of girl, but I’ve been warming up to it. These dark chocolate pomegranate bites are perfect for anyone that is on the fence about this combo. They’re like your gateway into fruity chocolates.

And by no means am I recommending that you dive face first into mystery boxes of fruit flavored chocolates after this. Those little boxes of disgustingness are not for the faint of heart and I wouldn’t wish them on anyone, especially not you.

But, if you’re opposed to the whole idea of fruit and chocolate together like I was, these dark chocolate pomegranate bites might be just the thing to open your eyes up to the possibilities.

The recipe is written for a very small batch since its just my husband and I munching these down. I recommend doubling it though if you’re planning on sharing at all. They go fast and you’ll wish you’d made more. Trust me on this one.

The first time I made these, we downed them in two days… yes, there are still only two of us. If you’re not a heathen and they can last longer in your house, keep them in the fridge so the chocolate will stay hard and the pomegranate will stay fresh.

I used 67% cacao chocolate chunks but any good dark chocolate will do.

Prevent your screen from going dark

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups chocolate chunks (65 – 85% cacao)
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, lightly crushed
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut or coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Lay a piece of wax or parchment paper down on a baking sheet.
  • Slowly heat chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often.*
  • When chocolate is fully melted, use a tablespoon to scoop up chocolate and drop onto lined baking sheet to create round chocolate circles.
  • While chocolate is still warm, sprinkle pomegranate arils, pistachio, and coconut on top. Repeat until all ingredients are gone.
  • Let the chocolates cool for about an hour until set. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

*If you don’t have a double boiler, place a rimmed bowl into a saucepan that has an inch or two of water in it so that the bottom of the bowl is a few inches above the water. Heat chocolate in the bowl.
