Homemade Chocolate Covered Craisins

Homemade Chocolate Covered Craisins

I think I am addicted to chocolate covered craisins. They are so good and I have been eating way too many of them.

Last weekend while I was at Blissdom, I attended the Savvvy Blogging dinner. At the end of the dinner we received a bag full of products from the sponsors of the event. One of the items in the bag was cranberry raisinets. I instantly loved these. They made a perfect snack for the weekend and for the plane ride home.

As I was eating my cranberry raisinets, I thought that I could easily make a version of these myself at home. They are basically just chocolate and craisins after all. I also knew that an at home version would be a little healthier. Not only that I knew I could make them cheaper than I could buy them.

So, I decided to give it a try and see what I could come up with. I am so glad I tried this. The at home version is as good if not better than the real ones. Seriously these are so good and so easy to make. My kids loved them and have been eating them like crazy the last few days. I will definitely be making more of these soon because the batch I made is already gone.

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
12 ounces of craisins

Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Add craisins and stir

until well combined and mixed together.

Spread out on a cookie sheet that has been lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for several hours or until firm.

remove from waxed paper and enjoy!

I like the chocolate on these to stay firm so I suggest storing them in the refrigerator, that is if you can avoid eating them all.
