Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh raspberries
Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao for a healthier option)
Coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, sea salt, or freeze-dried raspberries

Directions

I rinse and dry the raspberries completely—they need to be dry so the chocolate sticks well.
I melt the dark chocolate (with a bit of coconut oil, if using) in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
I dip each raspberry into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, coating it fully or partially.
I place the dipped raspberries on a parchment-lined tray and add any toppings before the chocolate sets.
I freeze or refrigerate them for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
I serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 20–25 bites, depending on how many raspberries I use. It takes 10 minutes to prep and 15–20 minutes to chill—ready in under 30 minutes.

Variations

I fill the raspberries with a tiny dab of nut butter or melted chocolate before dipping.
I use white or milk chocolate for a sweeter variation.
I mix in chopped almonds or cashews for crunch.
I drizzle with extra chocolate or peanut butter after freezing for a layered look.
I sometimes use frozen raspberries for a super cold, refreshing treat.

storage/reheating

I store these bites in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. I eat them straight from the freezer for a firmer texture or let them sit at room temperature for a minute if I want them softer. Healthy Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries?

I don’t recommend dipping frozen raspberries directly—they release too much moisture when they thaw. But I sometimes freeze the finished bites after dipping.

What kind of chocolate is healthiest?

I go for dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao for more antioxidants and less sugar. I also look for brands with minimal ingredients.

Can I make these vegan?

Yes. I use vegan dark chocolate, and these are naturally dairy-free if I don’t use milk chocolate.

Can I use other fruits?

Definitely. Strawberries, blueberries, or even banana slices work well too, but raspberries have the perfect bite-size texture.

Are these good for kids?

Yes. They’re fun to make and eat, and I like knowing exactly what’s in them. I just make sure to supervise younger kids when dipping.

Conclusion

Healthy Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites are one of my favorite easy treats—they’re sweet, refreshing, and just a little fancy.
