Snack time doesn’t get much cuter than these Kiwi Chocolate Whales.
This simple recipe is a playful twist on chocolate-dipped kiwi slices and makes a lovely addition to dessert plates, fruit platters, or themed parties.
Serve the kiwi chocolate whales on their own or attach them to ice lollies for a tidy, kid-friendly treat.
They pair well with other fruit-animal ideas and can be swapped for halved strawberries or even large blueberries if you prefer.
Recipe Tip
Be sure to pat the fruit dry with a paper towel before adding chocolate. Dry fruit helps the chocolate adhere and prevents slipping.
