Description
Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites are a five-ingredient, plant-based treat that feels indulgent yet light. Juicy raspberries are lightly coated with chia seeds, then dipped in rich dark chocolate and finished with flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet-salty balance. Gluten-free, vegan and paleo-friendly, these bites come together with pantry staples and freeze beautifully for make-ahead desserts. Ideal for holidays, parties, or a quick, guilt-free everyday treat.
