Chocolate Covered Pears are Fun to Make and Delicious to Eat

Pears have great health benefits and are a delicious source of Vitamin C. Personally, I think pears are a pretty fruit and I simply could not resist dipping them in chocolate and serving them as an afternoon snack recently.

It only takes a few minutes to melt chocolate and slice a pear. With very little effort, I was able to serve Chocolate Dipped Pears which made a delicious, healthy treat for my entire family.

It really made me wonder why I don't buy pears more frequently along with my normal purchases of bananas and apples.

    Easy Directions for Chocolate Dipped Pears

    Step 1: Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper ~ The cookie sheet will make it easier to move your Chocolate Covered Pears.

    Step 2: Melt Your Chocolate ~ If you use Saco Dolci Frutta, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in their package container. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes on medium and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. Other chocolates will need to be melted in a double boiler or a microwavable dish.

    Step 3: Wash, Dry and Slice Your Pears

    Step 4: Dip the Pears in the chocolate

    Step 5: Set on wax paper to cool

    Step 6: When you have dipped all of your pears in chocolate, serve or eat. Best if not refrigerated.

      These look tastey - I'm not a fan of pears but my horse would have taken your hand off for these! I'm starting to get the impression that you dip ALL your food in chocolate... ;-)
