Chocolate Peanut Raisin Bites
Ingredients
100g raisins – Use either regular raisins or golden raisins for a slightly lighter flavor.
100g peanuts – Unsalted peanuts work best, but if you like a saltier taste, you can use salted ones.
380g condensed milk – A sweetened condensed milk will provide the perfect consistency and sweetness for this recipe.
50g white chocolate – Adds a creamy sweetness and a lovely contrast to the dark chocolate.
100g dark chocolate – Choose a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a rich, slightly bitter taste that balances the sweetness of the raisins and condensed milk.
3 tbsp vegetable oil – Used to help melt the chocolate and create a smooth coating.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Soften the Raisins: If your raisins are a bit dry, place them in a small bowl with a little warm water for 5 minutes to plump them up. Drain any excess water before using them in the recipe.
Chop the Peanuts: If you prefer smaller pieces of peanuts, roughly chop them. If you enjoy larger chunks of peanuts for added crunch, you can leave them as they are. The size will affect the texture of your final bite, so adjust based on your preference.
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate into small pieces. Do the same with the white chocolate. In a separate saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over low to medium heat. Add the dark chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth. Once melted, add the white chocolate and continue stirring until it is completely incorporated into the dark chocolate mixture. This creates a smooth, two-tone chocolate blend.
Step 2: Combine the Ingredients
Mix the Raisins and Peanuts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plumped raisins and chopped peanuts. This will create a solid base of dried fruits and nuts to complement the chocolate mixture.Ezoic
Add the Condensed Milk: Pour in the condensed milk and stir well until all the nuts and raisins are evenly coated. The condensed milk will help bind the mixture together and provide a rich, creamy texture.
Fold in the Chocolate Mixture: Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture over the raisins and peanuts. Stir until everything is coated in the smooth, glossy chocolate. This will be the base of your chocolate bites.
Step 3: Form the Bites
Shape the Bites: Use your hands or a spoon to form small bite-sized portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon per bite. Shape them into balls or small clusters, whatever shape you prefer.
Coat with Coconut Flakes: Pour the coconut flakes into a shallow dish. Roll each chocolate bite in the coconut flakes until fully coated. This adds a delicious texture and a hint of coconut flavor to the bites.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Chill: Place the bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or until they are firm and set. The cooling process helps them hold their shape and enhances the texture.
