Ingredients
- 6-8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher recommended)
- 2-3 cups fresh fruit, washed and completely dry
Toppings to YOUR Taste
- Cacao nibs
- Chopped toasted nuts (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts)

- Fresh orange or lemon zest
- Mini dark chocolate chips
- Shredded coconut (toasted recommended)
- Spices (cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, chili powder, Tajin)

Instructions
- Wash fruit and dry thoroughly. Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize. If using large fruit, cut into bite-size pieces.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork, skewer, or holding the stem, dip fruit into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with toppings to YOUR taste.
- Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes, or until chocolate is set. Enjoy!
