A quick snack – Chocolate Raspberry Chickpeas! We buy them in the shops but they are expensive so sometimes we do them at home. It’s pretty simple frankly, roast the chickpeas and cover in melted chocolate. Now, if you are the most patient person in the world you can separate out the chick peas one by one so they dry as individual peas (I’m looking at you Molly), or if you’re like me – a bark like finish is just fine!
Keep the chick pea liquid (aquafaba) and use in an egg free recipe-cake, meringues, Yorkshire puddings all work wonderfully with aquafaba.
We love adding dried Raspberry to the melted chocolate, but if you want them plain then just leave it out. Next time I’m adding in some marshmallows to our Chocolate Raspberry Chickpeas.
