Steps:
- Refrigerate the pomegranates (not required, but it helps).
- Remove all the seeds and place them in a colander.
- Gently rinse the seeds, then lay them out on paper towels to let them dry.
- Lay out a large sheet of wax paper on a a cookie sheet which will fit inside your refrigerator.
- Melting the chocolate the easy way: put the chocolate chips in a glass container (I'd use my big 4-cup Pyrex measuring thingy) and microwave them until they're melted, stirring occasionally; don't overdo it, though- you don't want the chocolate to burn or get tough.
- Melting the chocolate another way: in a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips (if you don't have a double boiler a metal or oven-safe glass dish over boiling water works too); stir constantly while melting so you don't scorch the chocolate.
- Add the pomegranate seeds to the melted chocolate (making sure the seeds are not wet on the surface, or else the chocolate can seize) and fold gently with rubber spatula until the seeds are thoroughly covered, then spoon out globs of the mixture, whatever size you like, on to the wax paper.
- Place the wax papered cookie sheet in the refrigerator and let the chocolate-covered seeds cool overnight (or for as long as you can stand before tasting them).
- Keep refrigerated- they should keep for 3-4 days, at least, although I doubt they'll last that long once you taste them.
- Enjoy!

DARK CHOCOLATE AND POMEGRANATE BARK
Chocolate bark is the workhorse of homemade holiday gifts, and in Tom Faglon's version, he scatters fresh pomegranate seeds over the surface, where they glisten like rubies. Chewy bits of candied ginger are hidden inside the bittersweet chocolate, lying in wait to surprise you with their spiciness. Then, to make things even more interesting, Mr. Faglon strews the top with crunchy sea salt. This bark is as sweet and juicy as a box of chocolate-covered cherries, but a lot more sophisticated.

Steps:
- Fit a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Place the chocolate in the bowl and stir until fully melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot and stir the crystallized ginger and half of the pomegranate seeds into the melted chocolate.
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour melted chocolate mixture onto the sheet. Use a spatula to smooth the chocolate into one even layer about 1/4 inch thick (it does not need to fill the entire sheet). Sprinkle chocolate with remaining pomegranate seeds and sea salt.
- Chill for 20 to 30 minutes or until firm. Break or cut into pieces and store in an airtight container, separating the layers with wax paper. This is best served the same day it's made, otherwise condensation may form on the surface.

Steps:

Strain into an 8 1/2x4 1/2" loaf pan; chill until firm, 30-40 minutes.
- Pomegranate layer:
- While grapefruit layer is chilling, combine pomegranate juice, honey, lemon juice, and Grand Marnier in a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over and let sit until gelatin is softened, 10-15 minutes. Cook over medium-low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is translucent with no visible granules, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Let mixture cool slightly, then strain over set grapefruit layer and cover with plastic wrap. Chill gummy mixture until completely set, at least 3 hours.

- Toss candies in sanding sugar, if desired, just before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Candies can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled. Cut just before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the taste of your candies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific way to stabilize the cocoa butter. This makes the chocolate smooth, shiny, and less likely to seize.
- Use fresh pomegranate seeds: Fresh pomegranate seeds will give your candies the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When melting the chocolate, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Be patient: Making chocolate candies takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you may end up with subpar candies.
Conclusion:
Chocolate pomegranate candies are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a little time and effort, you can easily make these candies at home. Follow these tips to ensure your candies turn out perfectly:- Use high-quality chocolate.
- Temper your chocolate.
- Use fresh pomegranate seeds.
