Food Saving Hacks: Use leftover chocolate from candy bars or other treats by melting it down for dipping fruit. It’s an easy way to avoid waste and enjoy a sweet snack!

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 bananas
  • 2 cups of fresh fruits
  • 4 oz of leftover chocolate

 

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry all fresh fruits.
  2. Peel and cut the bananas into ½-inch thick slices. Slice larger fruits into bite-sized pieces but keep strawberries whole.
  3. Chop the leftover chocolate into smaller pieces. Melt using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Dip each piece of fruit into the melted chocolate, coating mostly.
  5. Place the chocolate-dipped fruit on a parchment-lined sheet or plate. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

 

Save More Than Food! Banana peels are rich in potassium and phosphorus –– two essential nutrients for healthy soil. Add them to your compost pile whole or chop for faster decomposition.
