I got the idea for these 4-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Raspberry Hearts when I was scoping the holiday aisle at my local store. There were all types of delicious chocolates — cream-filled chocolates, cherry-filled chocolates, peanut butter chocolates, white chocolate …

There were so many to choose from, but there weren’t that many healthier options. Of course, you had sugar-free candy, but I’m not a huge fan of those. I wanted something rich and chocolatey, but also easy on the waistline.

I grabbed some fresh raspberries and started to do a little experimenting. I added my raspberries, low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt and a few dates to my blender and combined my ingredients until smooth. I lined a 9-by-9-inch square pan with parchment paper and poured the mixture into the pan. I placed it in the freezer for about two hours, or until firm.

Once the mixture was firm, I took my heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out about eight hearts. I placed the hearts back into the freezer as I melted my chocolate. One by one, I dipped each heart into the chocolate and placed them back into the freezer to set. Feel free to do a drizzle of chocolate on top for a cute design.
Y’all, these Dark Chocolate Raspberry Hearts tasted like heaven. It was the perfect combo of tart and sweet. These treats are so cute that I decided to make a special batch for the hubs.
