Chocolate Covered Peaches: How to Make
Peach season is upon us, and there is nothing better than fresh peaches covered in chocolate! It's the easy recipe you need for busy weekends and care-free weekends in the summer months. Or, you can be like me and have chocolate-covered peaches as a mid-afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 7 ounces dark chocolate
- 3 peaches sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Slice the peaches into halves and remove the pit. Then, slice the peaches into wedges and line them on the baking sheet. Take a tea towel or paper towel and blot the peaches dry.
- Place the baking sheet with the peaches in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Chop the chocolate bar up and put it in a large glass bowl.
- Add the tablespoon of unsalted butter.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and stir. Microwave for 30 more seconds. Repeat this sequence until the chocolate is smooth. It takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds to melt the chocolate using this method.
- Take a semi-frozen peach slice and dip it into the chocolate until it's covered halfway. Lay each peach back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Once all peaches are dipped in chocolate, sprinkle with the salt.
- Let the peaches set for 15 minutes in the fridge on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
Blot the peaches dry with a towel before freezing. The peaches don't need to be totally frozen. Try to leave them in the freezer for 15 minutes before dipping the peaches in chocolate.
