- 14 ounces dried fruit with no added sugar
- 2 Tablespoons nut or seed butter
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
- Flaky sea salt
Mix-ins to YOUR taste
- ½-1 teaspoon flavor extract
- ¼-1 teaspoon spice(s)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine dried fruit, nut butter, water, and optional mix-ins. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Using a spoon or portion scoop, scoop fruit mixture into your hands and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet or cutting board lined with parchment/wax paper or a silicon baking mat.
- Melt chocolate over low heat in a small sauce pan or microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals (stirring between each).
- Using a fork, dip fruit bites in melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then place back on lined baking sheet or cutting board.
- Sprinkle chocolate-covered fruit bites with flaky sea salt. Place in refrigerator until chocolate is set (~30 minutes). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
