Can I use frozen raspberries?

Yes, frozen raspberries work just as well as fresh ones. In fact, frozen raspberries are great because they’re already pre-portioned, and you don’t need to worry about them being too ripe or soft. If you use frozen raspberries, you may want to let them thaw slightly before mashing them to make the process a bit easier.

Can I make these without chia seeds?

Absolutely! While chia seeds add a nice texture and some extra nutrients, they’re not essential to the recipe. If you prefer, you can skip them entirely or substitute with ground flaxseeds for a similar effect.

How long do these raspberry bites last?

These bites can be stored in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months in the freezer. If you find yourself craving something sweet, just grab a bite, and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate slightly.

Can I use milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes, feel free to swap out dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate if that’s more to your taste. Keep in mind that milk and white chocolate will make the bites a bit sweeter, so the tartness of the raspberries will stand out even more.

Do I have to use coconut oil in the chocolate?

The coconut oil is optional. It helps make the chocolate smoother and shinier, but if you prefer a thicker coating or don’t have coconut oil on hand, you can skip it and still have a delicious treat.
