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.
While snacking by the handful is a fully acceptable, be sure to check out my Vegan Movie Snack Cookies for another 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
- raisins
See recipe card for quantities.
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!
Equipment
There is no special equipment needed to make these raisins.
Storage
Store chocolate covered raisins in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Good for up to a month.
