Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and dried
- 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Melt chocolate: Place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat chickpeas: Add the cooked chickpeas to the melted chocolate and stir gently until all the chickpeas are thoroughly coated with chocolate.
- Chill: Spread the chocolate-coated chickpeas evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
Notes
- For crunchier chickpeas, roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes before coating.
- Use dark chocolate for a less sweet, more intense flavor and added antioxidants.
- Ensure the chickpeas are well-dried before melting chocolate to prevent splattering.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
