Simply chocolate fruit sticks

We were in wonderful Copenhagen a few weeks ago.  In the Tivoli garden I saw this place "Simply Chocolate" where they were serving fruit sticks dipped in chocolate.  There was a long line there waiting to get their sticks......so I just knew I had to try this out.  Ok I admit  I am a chocoholic, but I read once that 20 grams a day of dark chocolate is really healthy for us and helps out with our blood system.  So just in case I try having 40 g a day.....it must be about two times healthier.  I really try eating clean and healthy food but chocolate is my weakness.  I´m so glad you can buy organic and sugarfree chocolate.  Well your going to see a lot of recipes on this blog that are healthy but with a bit of chocolate.

But back to the simply chocolate sticks. I tried them out with strawberries, pineapple, bananas, ginger and apricots. Then they are covered in dark chocolate and you could choose from five different toppings.  I tried out hazelnut and shredded coconut.  This was SO GOOOOOD!!!.

And when I got back home to Norway I said to my self that I have to make these sticks myself.  It´s so easy.  I sometimes make banana sticks for the kids with chocolate and I sometimes make chocolate covered strawberries.

So this is no recipe, just ideas of what you can use.

All kinds of fruit that you can put on a stick.
Few wooden pins.
Your favorite chocolate, the darker the healthier. (I choose organic) about 100 g for four sticks.
Toppings like shredded coconut or any shopped down nuts, dried strawberries or raspberries.

You just put your fruits on to a stick.  Melt the chocolate (in a bowl over hot water).  With a spoon, pour chocolate over your stick, to cover almost everything.  Sprinkle with your choice of topping.
Place on a baking sheet and store in a cool place or your fridge for about 10 minuets.
Then its ready.
