Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil + 2 T divided
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 5 kiwi sliced in half lengthwise

Instructions
 

  • Cut kiwi fruit in half length wise. Place the kiwi cut side up. Use a small (approximately 2 inch) cookie cutter to cut kiwi into shapes.
  • Slice the back of the kiwi off and remove any of the fuzzy layer that still remains.
  • Add the milk chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the coconut oil to a double boiler, or just use a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water.  Stir over medium heat until thoroughly melted.
  • Microwave Option: Put chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for one minute. Stir well. If it's not yet smooth, microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir until completely smooth and melted. 
  • Place the kiwi heart in the melted milk chocolate and cover entirely.
  • Using a fork, lift the kiwi slices out of the chocolate and place on a cooling rack (we placed parchment paper underneath the rack to catch the drips).
  • Place in refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes to allow chocolate to harden.
  • While your chocolate is cooling, add the white chocolate chips and 1/8 cup of coconut oil to a double boiler, or just use a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water.  Stir over medium heat until thoroughly melted.
  • Remove the chocolate covered kiwi hearts from the fridge. Using a fork, drizzle the melted white chocolate onto the chocolate covered kiwi hearts. Place back in the fridge to allow the white chocolate to set (approximately another 10 minutes).
  • Remove kiwi hearts from fridge. If desired, insert thin wooden skewers into the bottom of each heart. Enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to play around with different types of chocolate. Try dipping the kiwi in white chocolate and drizzling with dark chocolate. Sprinkles are never a bad idea, either.
