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