This pretty much sums up my feelings about Trader Joe’s right now, too. TJ’s is full of fun holiday snacks. If you follow me on snapchat (user name: dessertfortwo), Camille and I did a quick video last week talking about how we went into TJ’s for 4 things, and came out with 44 things—38 of which were holiday snacks. I don’t even like oreos, yet I bought boxes {plural!} of their candy cane jojo’s. I also impulse-purchased one of those chocolate orange things that you whack on the counter, just for nostalgia’s sake. And then I stacked as many boxes of candy cane green tea in my arms as possible. My days look something like this: a slice of toast with milky tea for breakfast, snack 1, snack 2, lunch of leftovers, snack 3, snack 4, light dinner because I’m not hungry from all the snacking, and snack 5. On a good day, I’d estimate 60% of my calories are coming from snacks. So, let’s make our own snacks! These dark chocolate disks with pomegranate and coconut can be a snack, or you could use them as a no-bake cookie option at a cookie swap. They’re pretty and festive enough for a holiday party platter, too. If you’re not up for making round circles, just pour all of the melted chocolate on the wax-lined baking sheet and sprinkle on the toppings. Chocolate bark is good in any shape or form! The recipe below makes a small batch of 10 disks, and from there, you can scale it up to how many snacks/sweets/calories you need.
This is a great way to get your chocolate fix with a healthy dose of fruit!
