Chocolate-covered pomegranate arils

I bought a pomegranate (actually Doug bought it) last week, and I used the arils for garnish on a few dishes over the weekend.  We still had a bunch left, so I made this recipe.  It couldn't be easier!

8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup pomegranate arils

Melt chocolate in a double boiler, then set aside to cool slightly.  Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner, wax paper, parchment paper, or aluminum foil.  When the chocolate is no longer hot (but still melted), stir in pomegranate arils.  Use a fork to gather small clumps and place on the lined baking sheet.  Work quickly as the arils will harden the chocolate.  Place baking sheet in the oven for 1 hour or until the candy has hardened.
