Ingredients
  

4 ripe kiwis

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate consistency)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios)

Sea salt (optional, for an added touch of flavor)

Lollipop sticks or wooden skewers for assembly

Instructions
 

Prepare the Kiwis: Begin by peeling the kiwis using a vegetable peeler. After peeling, slice each kiwi into thick rounds, approximately 1 inch in thickness. Alternatively, you can cut them into wedges or triangles if you prefer a different presentation.

    Insert the Sticks: Take a lollipop stick or wooden skewer and gently insert it into the bottom of each kiwi slice. Ensure the stick is inserted deep enough to provide stability, as this will be the handle for your pops.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each interval. Continue this process until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, ensuring a glossy consistency.

        Dip the Kiwis: Carefully dip each kiwi pop into the melted chocolate, rotating it to ensure it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated pops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle the chopped nuts over each coated kiwi pop. For an elevated flavor profile, you can also add a delicate sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate.

            Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the chocolate set for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your delectable Chocolate Covered Kiwi Pops are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a refreshing snack or a delightful dessert that’s sure to impress!
