Chocolate Covered Fruit

Chocolate Covered Fruit is such a delicious way to enjoy chocolate on any occasion. You can prepare this scrumptious treat yourself (this is the most cost effective), or you can really splash out and order some decadent gourmet selections.

You can find these luxury items at MrsFields.com. I know the prices seem a bit exorbitant, but this is not an everyday splurge. :) (Photo by Jacqueline Huynh)

Prepare Your Own:

When preparing chocolate covered fruit, it is important to use the highest quality ingredients that you can. You will find some very good quality chocolate for melting at the Chocolate Source.

If you are going to make chocolate dipped fruit from fresh fruit, be sure that it is ripe and unblemished. Smell the fruit to be sure that it has a nice aroma. If it does not smell yummy, it will lack in flavor, too.
Use the fruit as soon as possible after you buy it to achieve the best possible results.

If you decide to make dried fruit dipped in chocolate, choose dried fruit that is plump and moist. Not all dried fruit has that delicious sweet flavor. If at all possible, try to taste test the fruit before you buy it.

Be sure to follow your recipe directions. Temperatures in candy making are pretty important. If you over or under heat your ingredients, you will not have the results you are expecting. Although chocolate can be simply melted for dipping, you will have a much better finished candy if you temper the chocolate.
