Homemade Vegan Chocolate Covered Raisins that are dairy free and have no refined sugar. Made with just a few simple ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes.
Chocolate covered raisins, seems people either love them or hate them. I'm definitely in the camp that loves them. Sweet, chewy, and coated in chocolate. Yum! Admittedly, these chocolate covered raisins are not the most photogenic food out there, but what they lack in visual aesthetic, they definitely make up for in taste. I promise.
Be sure to check out my Vegan Movie Snack Cookies for a fun way to use these chocolate raisins.

ingredients
There are some pre made vegan options out there, but really there's no need for store bought when these chocolate covered raisins are so simple to make. You need just 4 ingredients - cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, and raisins. That's it, no weird or hard to find ingredients or fancy equipment needed!
instructions
Start by combining the cocoa, oil, and syrup together until smooth and chocolatey like below. You don't even need a whisk, a fork works too. Stir in the raisins to coat, spread on a sheet pan, pop in the fridge to set the chocolate, and you're done. Super simple and very delicious.
Top Tip
The one note for this recipe is these raisins melt easily and need to be refrigerated until ready to eat and then expect some serious finger licking to go on!
I have a super fun recipe using these chocolate raisins coming up later in the week so be on the look out for that and try not to eat all the raisins before then 😉
