Yummy chocolate-dipped fruits make a perfect dessert and a pretty arrangement on your table. I like to use them for brunches or buffets. Dina Nicastro, Thornhill, Ontario Ingredients:
assorted fruit: sliced apples and starfruit, peeled quartered kiwifruit, cubed fresh pineapple, dried apricots, dried sliced pineapple and apples, and fresh strawberries, grapes and sweet cherries |
caramels and tootsie roll midgees |
pretzel dipping sticks |
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips |
3 tablespoons shortening, divided |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 pound white candy coating, chopped |
toasted coconut and finely chopped pecans, optional |
Directions:
1. Prepare fruit; pat dry with paper towels. Microwave unwrapped candies, one at a time, for 10 seconds each. Wrap softened candies around strawberries and pretzel sticks as desired.
2. In a microwave, melt milk chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons shortening; stir until smooth. Repeat with semisweet chocolate chips and remaining shortening. Melt candy coating; stir until smooth.
3. Dip fruit and pretzels into melted coatings; decorate as desired. Sprinkle with coconut and pecans if desired. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: varies.
