Tropical Pineapple Wedge Candy
The summer heat is coming! This cool and refreshing Tropical Pineapple Wedge Candy is the perfect way to celebrate summer without turning on the oven. I call Pineapple Natures Candy. My husband always makes fun of me because every time I take my first bite of fresh pineapple I say “Mmmm tastes like candy”. HA! Oh well.
Are you planning a luau, pool party or beach them party? This Tropical Pineapple Wedge Candy is PERFECT! Sweet Pineapple dipped in dark chocolate and then dipped in toasted coconut. The chocolate I used for these wedges was from Chocoley Chocolate. Seriously they have the BEST chocolate for dipping. The perfect ending to a great meal.
Toasted Coconut
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spread coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; toast, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
