Christina's Notes
- Double This Recipe: This is a great, easy recipe to whip up for a crowd. Simply increase the ingredients proportionately!
- Chocolate Dipped Fruit: Try other chocolate covered fruit in chocolate such as mango, oranges or bananas, as the toasted coconut would pair great.
- White Chocolate Chips: For the non-chocolate lovers in your life, you can make white chocolate coated pineapple for a more delicate flavor.
- Drizzle: You can drizzle white chocolate over the dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a nice finishing touch.
- Extra Smooth Chocolate: Add a tablespoon of coconut oil in with the chocolate chips before melting in the microwave. Melting chocolate chips and coconut oil makes the chocolate melt evenly and easier to work with.
- Double-Boiler: If you don't have a microwave you can melt chocolate using the double boiler method by putting a glass bowl on top of a boil pot of water.
- Dipping Tip: Dipping snacks in chocolate can take a bit of patience to ensure they end up picture perfect.
