Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound assorted fruit strawberries, bananas, grapes, etc., washed and dried
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips dark, milk, or white
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Prepare the fruit: Wash and thoroughly dry all fruit. Cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  3. Dip the fruit: Dip each piece of fruit into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Set the fruit: Place the chocolate-covered fruit on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the fruit for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for later.

Notes

For a glossy finish, ensure the fruit is completely dry before dipping.
