Ingredients
  

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into spears or rings

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or chocolate of your choice)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)

Sea salt or flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prep the Pineapple: If not already done, peel and core the pineapple. Cut it into spears or rings, ensuring they are thick enough to hold on a stick.

    Freeze the Pineapple: Place the pineapple pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, or until solid. This helps keep the chocolate from melting too quickly when dipped.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

        Dip the Pineapple: Remove the pineapple from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each piece into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.

          Add Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of toppings (crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles) on the chocolate-dipped pineapple.

            Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped pineapple back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you prefer a firmer chocolate coating, place the dipped pineapple back in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to set.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the frozen chocolate-dipped pineapple immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
