Notable Ingredients at a Glance

Pomegranate: Pick fresh and red pomegranates from the market. The fresher the pomegranates, the more delightful they will be. Fresh pomegranates tend to have crunchier arils which make them ideal for use in layered candies like these.

Dark Chocolate: You can take dark compound chocolate or dark chocolate chips, whichever is readily available. In case you don’t like dark chocolates, you can also try this recipe with milk chocolates or mix dark and milk chocolate together, based on your preference.

Flaky Sea Salt: Normal table salt is not suitable for this recipe. But that does not mean that you need the fanciest of sea salts. A mild salt that has moderate to large flakes is ideal for this recipe. The mildness of the salt is what we’re looking for in this case since you will be directly tasting them on the chocolate, which is sweet and needs the salt to balance the flavor profile of the chocolate.
