Day 145.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! If you don't live in the US, and don't celebrate, Happy Weekend! The US uses Memorial Day as an official un-official summer kick-off. The weekend is usually filled with lots of barbecues, pool parties, beer, and eating.
It's raining here today.
and we have to stop by the doctor's office.
But that's okay, because we have fruit covered in chocolate. And that makes everything right with the world.
The Ingredients.
--fruit
--chocolate chips (I didn't measure. A bunch.)
--crockpot (I used my big one. Any size would work just fine.)
The Directions.
Dump chocolate chips into the crockpot. I didn't spray cooking spray. I didn't add anything. I just put in the chocolate chips.
While the chocolate is melting, wash and prepare the fruit you're going to use, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cook on high for 30 min-1 hr. You will know that the chocolate is ready to stir when it gets really shiny and begins to break down. You can start stirring it when the chip forms are still visible.
Dip fruit pieces into the melted chocolate. I had lots of help with this, and although the chocolate was hot, nobody got burnt, and nobody seemed to mind. And somehow "nobody" got chocolate fingerprints all over the outside of the dishwasher and refrigerator. hmph.
Put the covered fruit onto the parchment-paper lined cookie sheets and place into the refrigerator to harden. This doesn't take long---I think we only waited about 20 minutes.
You can go totally fancy and have one crockpot for semi-sweet chocolate, one for white, and one for milk. You can make little swirls with the different chocolates and double-dip to create culinary masterpieces. I'd really like to do this one day.
Alone.
The Verdict.
These are awesome. I can not wait to make them again. But I need to get Clorox wipes first.
