storage/reheating

Store the chocolate bites in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

No reheating is necessary, but allow refrigerated bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate?

Yes, but use high-quality chips without stabilizers for better melting and texture.

What molds work best for this recipe?

Silicone dome molds or mini muffin liners work best for easy release and consistent shapes.

Can I use other dried fruits?

Yes, use a dairy-free white chocolate alternative available in many health food stores.

How do I prevent the chocolate from seizing?

Make sure all utensils are dry and avoid getting water into the chocolate while melting.

Are these suitable for gifting?

Yes, they package beautifully in mini cupcake wrappers or gift boxes for holidays and special occasions.

Can I double the recipe?

Definitely. Simply double the ingredients while maintaining the same method and chilling time.

How long do they last at room temperature?

Up to 1 week in a cool, dry place, but refrigeration is recommended in warmer climates.

Can kids help with this recipe?

Yes, it’s a great recipe for kids to help with — simple, safe, and fun to customize.
