These homemade chocolate bites are just the treat to make all season long, ideal for sharing with unexpected guests or indulging in by a cozy fire.

Creamy white chocolate with dried cranberries and pistachios makes a festive touch; semisweet chocolate with sweet-tart dried cherries and roasted almonds is decadent enough for even the diehard chocoholic.

Better still, both bites are three-ingredient candies that take less than 20 minutes to make and taste infinitely better than store-bought. Pro tip: Prep your toppings before you begin melting the chocolate so you can work quickly before the chocolate sets.

  1. Wondeful chocolate bites! I think I’ll start of with the white ones. Thank you for these wonderful treats, Laura! 🙂

  2. Can i ask if you used regular choc chips or melting discs or bars? I’m planning to do a substantial number of them and want to eliminate any goofs from the start 🙂 … also, once made, how long do you think they’d last still fresh? I’d like to make and then we’re driving crosscountry with them … still ok for a couple of days after Christmas? Thank you for the idea – I’m adding in dried pineapple/coconut to one as well.

    1. Hi Bonnie! I used regular chocolate chips. If you keep them cool and in an airtight container, they should last at least a week or so. Hope that helps, the pineapple/coconut combo sounds delicious! Merry Christmas! 🙂

      1. Thank you so much! I might wait until Christmas Eve day to do to ensure they’ll last until our gathering. You’ve given me a fun idea. I appreciate the reply. Have bookmarked many of your recipes, including many maple ones. Looking forward to trying them. Merry Christmas!

  3. Phenomenal idea, Laura! Chocolate holiday bark meets 15-minute bites! Who wouldn’t love this as a holiday gift from the kitchen? Love the perfect pairings of toppings with the white and dark chocolates. Nom! Thanks for sharing! xo
