2 dozen pieces | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 6 whole graham crackers, preferably whole-wheat, broken into 4 rectangles
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped or crumbled dehydrated fruit (see Tip), such as raspberries or bananas

Preparation

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2. Place chocolate chips in a small glass bowl. Microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on in 20-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. (Alternatively, melt in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water.)
