Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Topping

1 1/4 cups pomegranate seeds

Instructions

Prepare muffin tin: Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
First chocolate layer: Spoon 2 teaspoons of melted semisweet chocolate into each muffin cup, spreading evenly as the base layer.
Add pomegranate seeds: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds evenly on top of the chocolate layer in each muffin cup, ensuring a good amount of seeds per piece.
Top with chocolate drizzle: Drizzle additional melted chocolate over the pomegranate seeds to encase them partially and add extra richness.
Chill to set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm, at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 days for convenience before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips for best flavor and smooth melting.
Ensure pomegranate seeds are patted dry to prevent moisture from affecting the chocolate setting.
These treats should be stored refrigerated and enjoyed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
Perfect for holiday parties or as a refreshing light dessert.
