Vegan Bites: The Pomegranate Witch Krispie Crunchies

 

A dear friend recommend the seasonal read 'The Pomegranate Witch', illustrated by one of my favourite artists, Eliza Wheeler. The kids and I listened to the lyrical tale, before preparing these pomegranate treats!

Chocolate Pomegranate Crunch

~1c pomegranate seeds (lay on paper towel to dry)

~1c rice krispies

~3/4c dark chocolate

Melt chocolate in double boiler. Remove from heat and gently stir in seeds and cereal with soft spatula to coat. Spoon onto parchment and sprinkle with salt. Allow to cool and harden.

*Note: melted chocolate seizes (and turns clumpy) if mixed with water droplets. The seeds need to be as dry as possible on the outside before adding to the chocolate. Lay on paper towel and pat dry.
