Chocolate Covered Raisin Clusters (Easy Recipe)

I’ve tested dozens of simple chocolate treat recipes over the years, and this ridiculously easy chocolate covered raisins recipe is one of my favorites. I love the combination of sweet, chewy raisins with rich, slightly bitter dark chocolate. Give it a try if you’re looking for easy homemade dessert ideas, like these chocolate covered hazelnuts, which are another yummy option.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You can use any type of raisins you like in these treats. I went with Sultana raisins this time, but regular black raisins work too.

I prefer to use dark chocolate when making these treats, but you can substitute any type of chocolate you prefer. Just keep in mind that if you substitute a different type of chocolate, it’s best to either melt it on low heat in the microwave or use a double boiler instead of the stovetop method used in this recipe. This is because dark chocolate is less likely to seize or burn compared to other sweeter varieties of chocolate.

I like to add a small pinch of sea salt to these chocolate raisins to balance the flavors. You can omit the sea salt if you prefer.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Raisins

Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.

Add the raisins to the pot of melted chocolate, then stir until the raisins are completely coated in chocolate.

Scoop out 1 heaping teaspoon of the chocolate raisin mixture, then add it to a large plate or sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Add a small sprinkle of sea salt on top, if desired. Repeat with the rest of the chocolate raisin mixture.

Place the plate or sheet pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
