Chocolate Dipped Pears

Chocolate Dipped Pears are Fun to Make and Delicious to Eat

Pears have great health benefits and are a delicious source of Vitamin C. Personally, I think pears are a pretty fruit and I simply could not resist dipping them in chocolate and serving them as an afternoon snack recently.

It only takes a few minutes to melt chocolate and slice a pear. With very little effort, I was able to serve Chocolate Dipped Pears which made a delicious, healthy treat for my entire family. It really made me wonder why I don’t buy pears more frequently along with my normal purchases of bananas and apples.
