They have the wonderful combination of flavors, textures, and are simply beautiful.

Raspberries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. While dark chocolate contains antioxidants and has been linked to potential health benefits when consumed in moderation. When combining raspberries and chia seeds, you’re creating a powerful synergy of nutrients. In addition, chia seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation in the body. The combination of these ingredients can make these Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites feel like a guilt-free indulgence.
