Creating Chocolate Raspberry Bites is simple and enjoyable! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Tray: Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. This will help with easy removal later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Add Sweetener: If desired, stir in honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Mix well until combined.
4. Prepare Raspberries: Gently rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
5. Dip Raspberries: Using a toothpick or fork, dip each raspberry into the melted chocolate mixture. Coating about ¾ of the raspberry, ensure it’s well covered.
6. Place on Tray: Carefully place the chocolate-dipped raspberries onto the lined baking tray. Ensure they don’t touch to maintain their shape.
7. Sprinkle Salt: After dipping, lightly sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate-covered raspberries for an added flavor contrast.
8. Chill: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
9. Garnish: If desired, add fresh mint leaves to the tray before serving for an elegant touch.
10. Serve: Once chilled and set, they are ready to enjoy!

These clear and concise steps will guide you in creating these delightful bites effortlessly.
