Chocolate Pomegranate Seeds

So easy it's almost ridiculous! These chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds are a great addition to the holiday season, and the kids will like helping to make them.

SERVES 12 -14 , 1 batch (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 large pomegranates

  • 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • wax paper

Directions

  1. 1
    Refrigerate the pomegranates (not required, but it helps).
  2. 2
    Remove all the seeds and place them in a colander.
  3. 3
    Gently rinse the seeds, then lay them out on paper towels to let them dry.
  4. 4
    Lay out a large sheet of wax paper on a a cookie sheet which will fit inside your refrigerator.
  5. 5
    Melting the chocolate the easy way: put the chocolate chips in a glass container (I'd use my big 4-cup Pyrex measuring thingy) and microwave them until they're melted, stirring occasionally; don't overdo it, though- you don't want the chocolate to burn or get tough.
  6. 6
    Melting the chocolate another way: in a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips (if you don't have a double boiler a metal or oven-safe glass dish over boiling water works too); stir constantly while melting so you don't scorch the chocolate.
  7. 7
    Add the pomegranate seeds to the melted chocolate (making sure the seeds are not wet on the surface, or else the chocolate can seize) and fold gently with rubber spatula until the seeds are thoroughly covered, then spoon out globs of the mixture, whatever size you like, on to the wax paper.
  8. 8
    Place the wax papered cookie sheet in the refrigerator and let the chocolate-covered seeds cool overnight (or for as long as you can stand before tasting them).
  9. 9
    Keep refrigerated- they should keep for 3-4 days, at least, although I doubt they'll last that long once you taste them.
  10. 10
    Enjoy!

My 4yo loved helping with these. How can you not enjoy them? Delicious. I seeded and rinsed and layed out my seeds last night so that they would be thoroughly dry for today's candy making. Very easy, very worth it. Thanks!

    Never thought about mixing pomegranate with chocolate before but it really is pretty good. I made some with white chocolate and they were gorgeous - the white stayed white so it really showed off the red in the seeds. The white chocolate didn't melt as easily as the dark though, but that was likely user error

    Everyone loved these and kept raving about them! And such an easy treat to prepare. I made this with 1 pomegrate to 1 bag (11-12 oz) of chips. Rinsing and drying the seeds is key to this recipe. After 45 minutes in the refrigerator these were cooled enough to put into a container. Gave this recipe out several times. Thanks for making me look good.

    I used the microwave to heat my chocolate and also used the extra chips! The pomegranate seeds pop in your mouth.In order to get the seeds out easier and keep my hands stain free, I scored the pomegranate then peeled and took off the white parts while the pomegranate was submerged in a bowl of water. The seeds fell to the bottom and then I drained the water off. These are wonderful and easy to make!
