- •2 tablespoons coconut oil
- •1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles or finely chopped nuts for decorating
Instructions
- 1
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

- 4
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- 5
Hold each piece of fruit by its stem or top and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off gently.
- 6
If desired, immediately roll the dipped fruit in sprinkles or chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet.

Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is completely set and hardened.
💡 Chef tips
- Make sure no water touches the melting chocolate, as even a single drop can cause it to clump up.
- You can easily substitute dark or white chocolate chips depending on your flavor preference.
- Store the dipped fruit in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for the best texture.
