½cupdark chocolate chips (I use Lilys vegan chocolate)

Instructions
Roasted chickpeas
Preheat oven to 400°F in convection mode if possible. Conventional mode may take a little longer to roast. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and thoroughly drain chickpeas. On a clean dishtowel or paper towel, pat and gently rub chickpeas until very dry. Remove skins that have come off but don't worry if some skins remain.
Spread chickpeas in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast, stirring the chickpeas every 10 minutes. They are done roasting when golden, crispy and dry on the outside. About 35-40 minutes. The longer they roast, the crispier they are on the inside.
Cool on baking sheet.
Chocolate chickpea clusters
In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips.
Add melted chocolate and roasted chickpeas to a large bowl and stir until fully coated.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of chocolate-covered chickpeas onto a parchment covered dish. Repeat, leaving a little space between each cluster.
Place dish in fridge or freezer for 10-20 minutes to allow chocolate to set. Enjoy!
Notes
Extra crispy chickpeas may need a little extra time in the oven. Always taste test before removing from oven and allow to cool on baking tray before adding to melted chocolate.Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If left at room temperature, the chocolate may soften and the cluster may loose their shape.
