Ingredients
  

1 medium ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother consistency)

Sea salt (for finishing)

1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, for a tropical garnish)

1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by carefully peeling and coring the pineapple. Cut the fruit into bite-sized chunks that are easy to handle. Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the pineapple chunks are completely frozen and firm.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if you choose to use it). Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and silky smooth. Keep a close eye on the chocolate to prevent it from overheating and burning.

      Dip the Pineapple: Retrieve the frozen pineapple chunks from the freezer. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each pineapple piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is generously coated. Gently shake off any excess chocolate before carefully placing the dipped chunks back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Garnish: To enhance the flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each chocolate-covered pineapple piece while the chocolate is still wet. For an added touch of texture and flavor, you may sprinkle shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts over the chocolate at this stage as well.

          Freeze Again: Once all the pineapple bites are dipped and garnished, return the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the chocolate to set for an additional 30 minutes, ensuring that it hardens nicely around the tropical fruit.

            Serve: After the chocolate has fully hardened, remove the Choco Delight Pineapple Bites from the freezer. Serve them immediately for a refreshing treat or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks for later enjoyment.
