To our kids, taking pictures of your food and talking about each step as you make it is normal to them . . . ha ha.

It’s how life is when your moms are bloggers. So every once in a while, we will be sharing a recipe and video on our YouTube channel that the kids make themselves.

They are pretty hilarious and way cuter than we are, so we hope you enjoy.

what other fruit could i make this recipe with?

I love chocolate fountains. My kids and I have recently started doing fondue nights, when dad has a business trip, and it just makes the night a little more festive.

We have recently been trying a few fruit and chocolate combinations, and here are a few of our favorite:

strawberries
pineapple
peaches
raspberries
blackberries
blueberries
clementines (cuties)
oranges
mandarin oranges
bananas
apples

We love it all. We have also tried freeze dried and dehydrated fruit with a lot of these, and that is also a delicious combination.

You could also switch it up and do some sugary treats, such as:

cinnamon bears
graham crackers or Teddy Grahams
pretzels
marshmallows
rice krispie treats
raisins
peanuts
vanilla wafers
cookies (mini chocolate chip, Nutter Butters, peanut butter, Oreo’s, wafer cookies, etc.).

Really what can’t you dip?

how to keep your chocolate from losing it’s creamy texture:

The key to keeping your chocolate creamy (and not lumpy) when dipping fruits, it to completely dry off your fruit.

You can pat them down with a paper towel, or let them sit in a strainer for a while, but as soon as moisture gets into your melted chocolate, there is no going back.

Be sure your fruit is completely dry before dipping.
