Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries, raisins, or chopped dried apricots)
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Step 3
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the chopped nuts and dried fruit until well-coated.
Step 4
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Step 5
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt onto the top of each chocolate drop for an added burst of flavor.
Step 6
Allow the chocolate drops to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once the chocolate drops are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy your Speedy Chocolate Drop Candy as a delightful snack or dessert!
