Get ready to be swept off your feet with these easy, yet insanely delicious chocolate squares! They’re bite-size morsels of joy that truly capture the essence of indulgence. 

Just imagine creating something that tastes as decadent as a classic chocolate truffle with just three simple ingredients: chocolate chips, canned pumpkin puree, and coarse sea salt. The melty chocolate chips create a smooth and creamy texture that melts-in-your-mouth. The pumpkin puree is the secret star here – not only does it add a velvety richness akin to heavy cream, but it also sneaks in a nutritious punch, making these treats a bit more virtuous. And the sea salt finish elevates the overall flavor to celestial levels.

These chocolate squares are truly a testament to the magic of combining simplicity with creativity. They’re a celebration of flavor, texture, and a little nutritional savvy, all wrapped up in one wonderful package. It may just be love at first bite. 😉

RECIPE NOTES:

• When it comes to sweetness, you are the boss of your sauce! The darkness of your chocolate will determine how sweet or intense your cake is— I prefer using semi-sweet chips, which are about 50% cocoa (perfectly in-between milk and super-dark), but if you prefer a sweeter flavor, use milk chocolate chips. For a more intense dark chocolate flavor, use 60 or 70% chips.

• To melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, I’d start with one minute, and then do 30 second increments; stopping and stirring until velvety smooth. *LIFE-CHANGING HACK* Mist your microwave-safe bowl with oil spray before adding your chocolate chips. It will make cleaning the bowl SO MUCH EASIER. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler, of course.
