  • 12 ounces chocolate chips dark, milk, or white

  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.
