Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 4 oz dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1 minute total).
  2. Step 2: Thread 2 strawberry halves and 2 banana slices onto each pretzel stick, alternating to create colorful patterns.
  3. Step 3: Dip each fruit skewer halfway into melted chocolate, rotating to coat evenly, then immediately roll the chocolate-coated end in 1/4 cup shredded coconut until fully coated.
  4. Step 4: Place skewers on a parchment-lined tray and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes until chocolate hardens and sets.
