Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m gonna share my little kitchen adventure – making chocolate-covered pineapple. I saw someone did this online and that looked easy and yummy. So I thought, why not? Let’s dive in!
Getting Started
First things first, I grabbed a fresh pineapple from the grocery store. I also picked up some dark chocolate ’cause, you know, it’s kinda healthy, right? I figured those two things were all I really needed to make this work.
Prepping the Pineapple
So, I started by chopping up that pineapple. I cut off the top and bottom, then sliced off the skin. After that, I chopped it into bite-sized pieces. This part was a bit messy, but hey, that’s part of the fun. Make sure to dry those pineapple chunks with a paper towel. Gotta get rid of that extra juice, or the chocolate won’t stick. Pineapple also has iron, potassium, calcium and fiber.

Melting the Chocolate
Next up, the chocolate. I broke the chocolate bar into smaller pieces and put them in a bowl. Then, I used the good old double boiler method – you know, put the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stirred it until it was all smooth and melty. That smell was amazing, by the way. You know I’m a sucker for chocolate covered anything, and now it’s pineapple’s turn.
Dipping Time
Now for the fun part! I took each pineapple piece and dipped it into the melted chocolate. I used a fork to make sure it was nicely coated. Then, I placed them on a tray lined with parchment paper. This was a little tricky, not gonna lie. Some pieces got fully covered; others were just half-dipped. But, who cares? They’re gonna be delicious either way!
Cooling Down
After all that dipping, I popped the tray into the fridge. I figured they needed to cool down and harden up a bit. I think I left them in there for about an hour, but I snuck a couple out after 30 minutes ’cause I couldn’t wait. These chocolate pineapple bites are the perfect balance of refreshing, decadent, and sweet.
The Verdict
Okay, so how did they turn out? Pretty darn good, if I do say so myself! They’re sweet, a little tangy, and that chocolate just makes everything better. Plus, they’re kinda healthy, right? Fruit and dark chocolate? It’s a win-win! Bring them to BBQs, picnics, or snack on them straight from the freezer!
So, there you have it, my chocolate-covered pineapple adventure. It was fun, a little messy, but totally worth it. Give it a try, and let me know how yours turn out!
