Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 16 oz. fresh strawberries, tops removed, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp. neutral oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups dark or milk chocolate chips

Raspberries

  • 6 oz. raspberries, patted dry
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp. neutral oil, divided

Bananas

  • 2 large bananas, sliced 1/2” thick
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp. neutral oil
  • 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Arrange the halved strawberries cut side down on paper towels to soak up any excess moisture to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
  2. Melt White Chocolate for Strawberries: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
  3. Dip Strawberries in White Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each strawberry half into the white chocolate, tapping the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  4. Freeze Strawberries: Arrange the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until the chocolate hardens, approximately 15 minutes.
  5. Melt Dark Chocolate for Strawberries: In another small microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 1/2 cups dark or milk chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
  6. Dip Strawberries in Dark Chocolate: Dip the white chocolate-covered strawberries into the dark chocolate, tap excess chocolate off with a fork, then return to the baking sheet and freeze until completely solid, at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
  7. Prepare Raspberries: Ensure raspberries are patted dry to avoid chocolate clumping during dipping.
  8. Melt White Chocolate for Raspberries: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon neutral oil in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and melted, about 1 minute total.
  9. Dip Raspberries in White Chocolate: Gently dip raspberries into the white chocolate using a fork, tapping to remove excess, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens.
  10. Melt Dark Chocolate for Raspberries: Heat 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil in another bowl the same way until melted and smooth.
  11. Dip Raspberries in Dark Chocolate: Dip the white chocolate-covered raspberries into dark chocolate, remove excess chocolate, then freeze until completely solid, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  12. Prepare Bananas: Slice bananas into 1/2 inch thick rounds and arrange them for dipping.
  13. Melt Peanut Butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until melted, about 45 seconds.
  14. Dip Bananas in Peanut Butter: Using a fork, dip banana slices into the melted peanut butter, tapping off excess, then arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  15. Melt Dark Chocolate for Bananas: In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon neutral oil in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth, about 1 minute total.
  16. Dip Bananas in Dark Chocolate: Dip the peanut butter-coated banana slices into the dark chocolate, tap off excess, then return to the baking sheet and freeze until completely solid, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Notes

  • Ensure fruits are well-dried before dipping to allow chocolate to adhere properly.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent chocolate pieces from sticking during freezing.
  • Freezing times can be extended to preserve the treats for longer storage.
  • Neutral oil helps smooth the melting process and prevents chocolate from seizing.
  • Handle raspberries gently as they are delicate.
  • For best results, use fresh, ripe fruit and high-quality chocolate chips.
