Ingredients
- 6 ounce package of raspberries, washed
- 6 ounce package of blackberries, washed
- 16 ounce package of strawberries, washed with leaves cut off
- 1 apple (Fuji or preferred variety), cut, cored, and peeled
- 1 banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 10-oz bag dark chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Wash and prepare your fruit. Dry well.
- Line 1 baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Melt dark chocolate at 30 second intervals (about 3 times, depending on the strength of your microwave) in the microwave in a heat safe and microwave safe bowl, stirring in between each interval.
- Using a fork, dip the fruit and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to solidify at room temperature or to speed things up, transfer to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Serve individually or on wooden skewers. Enjoy!
Notes
Home Chef Tip: To speed up getting the chocolate solid after dipping, you can refrigerate the dipped fruit for 10-15 minutes. Also, If you are using apples and bananas make sure to consume right away as they do brown quickly. Fruit like blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries can be prepared the day before.
