Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Coating

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Dry Pomegranate Seeds: Lay seeds on a clean dish towel in a single layer for a couple of hours.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave to melt dark chocolate gently, aiming for a smooth consistency.
  4. Coat Pomegranate Seeds: Carefully add dried seeds to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated.
  5. Form Drops: Scoop about a tablespoon of coated seeds onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  6. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about one hour to allow chocolate to solidify.
  7. Store: Transfer solidified drops to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.
