Ingredients

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks or slices
100 g dark chocolate approximately 1 3.5 oz bar
2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Ensure the skin and core of the pineapple are removed before slicing the pineapple. You can slice it into rings, half rings, chunks, or use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium size bowl with the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave again until melted.
Use a fork to dip a few pieces of pineapple into the chocolate at a time. Let the excess chocolate drip off and place the chocolate covered pineapple on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. You could also simply drizzle the chocolate over the pineapple. Top with flaky sea salt if you like. Repeat until all the chocolate and pineapple are used up. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to solidify.
Transfer the chocolate covered pineapple to a closed container and enjoy straight from the fridge. They may melt quickly at warm temperatures. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, if they even last that long!

Notes

I do not recommend using frozen pineapple. It will become too mushy when thawed to dip in the chocolate.
Swap out the dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate if you like!
While the chocolate is wet, you could sprinkle on flaky salt, cookie crumbs, or candies.
Store chocolate covered pineapple in the fridge so it does not melt.
You could also store the pineapple chunks in a bag in the freezer and let thaw for a few minutes before enjoying, for longer storage.
