Spicy Chocolate-Dipped Pineapple with Sea Salt

Spicy Chocolate-Dipped Pineapple with Sea Salt from Whole Foods Market

Makes 24 pieces

Make these sweet, salty and spicy dessert bites up to three hours in advance, storing them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Ingredients

1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 24 chunks
2 (3.5-ounce) bars Organic Dark Chocolate
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Method

Thread a short skewer (4 or 6 inches) through each pineapple chunk and arrange on a large, parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.

Working over a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring constantly, until just melted; stir in cayenne.

Working with one skewer at a time, pat pineapple dry with a paper towel, and then dip in chocolate, covering about halfway.

Transfer to baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with salt and repeat with remaining pineapple and chocolate.

Chill your Chocolate-Dipped Pineapple bites until set, about 45 minutes.
