Time 1h

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 16 1/2-inch chunks
2 medium bananas, peeled and cut into 16 1/2-inch slices
16 (1/2 cup) seedless red grapes
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted* see Cook's Note

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 16 (4-inch) skewers or toothpicks
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Set aside. Using paper towels, pat the pineapple pieces dry. Thread the skewers starting with a piece of pineapple, then a banana slice and then a grape. Repeat with the remaining fruit and skewers.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream, chocolate chips, and oil. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Put the hazelnuts in another small bowl.
  • Dip 1 side of the skewered fruit into the chocolate mixture. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off and then dip the skewer into the chopped nuts. Place the skewers, chocolate side up, on the prepared pan. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set, about 30 to 40 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved this recipe. The chocolate-hazelnut dip was rich and creamy, but not too sweet. And the fruit was a nice refreshing contrast.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used a sunflower seed butter instead of hazelnut butter in the dip. It turned out great!

I had some trouble getting the chocolate to harden on the fruit. I ended up having to refrigerate the fruit for a while before serving.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a darker chocolate and less sugar in the dip.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of fruit you like, and you can even add different flavors to the chocolate-hazelnut dip. I've tried it with peanut butter, caramel, and even mint, and they all turned out great.

This recipe was a hit at my last party! The combination of chocolate and hazelnut was perfect, and the fruit was a refreshing contrast. I especially loved the way the chocolate hardened on the fruit, creating a delicious and crunchy coating.
