These chocolate covered kiwi pops are easy and fun to make and delicious to enjoy!

Chocolate covered anything is always good. My oldest two kids are not very fond of fruit with tiny little “seeds.” However, these chocolate covered kiwi pops were a big hit with my youngest.

My grandmother ate kiwis all winter long. She used to say that their high level vitamin C helped her keep the colds away. Sick bugs seem to be abundant this time of the year so I am willing to try anything. Schools are full of runny noses, coughs, and everything else in between -yuck!

If you have fruit resistant kids like I do, get them to help you cover the kiwi pieces in chocolate. The activity is fun and a great one to keep them occupied while you prep dinner, do laundry, and everything else we busy parents need to do while the kids want to be entertained. 

In my world, food is the entertainment and these chocolate covered kiwis are healthy and delicious at the same time. Healthy? Yes, chocolate is full of antioxidants and therefore; they are a necessity and in its own food group!

What You Need

You only need three ingredients to make these chocolate-covered kiwi pops a reality. Check them out:

  • Kiwis: peeled and sliced. You can try this recipe with other fruits!
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chunks: to coat the kiwi slices. Chocolate chips work too!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Kiwi Pops

These Chocolate Covered Kiwi Pops are as simple as tasty! Melt the chocolate, dip the kiwi and, the easiest part of all: eat them! Check the steps:

  1. Melt the chocolate
    You can melt it along with the coconut oil in a double broiler or the microwave.
  2. Assemble
    Now, insert popsicle sticks into the kiwi slices. You want to hold the fruit without piercing through the other end.
  3. Cover with chocolate!
    Dip the kiwi slices into the melted chocolate. Allow them to rest over wax paper or standing up on an egg carton until chocolate is cooled.
  4. Enjoy!
    You can add sprinkles to decorate or leave them as is. Once the chocolate is dried, time to enjoy these kiwi pops!

    Laura , I love your idea of chocolate covered kiwi and can’t wait to try it! However, how do you keep the chocolate from “sweating” and getting soggy after it sets on fruit? I recently made chocolate covered strawberries with my kids and after eating some, we stored the leftovers in the fridge only to come back later and find that the chocolate was wet and yucky:( Any suggestions?

      Kelly, we eat them within minutes from them hardening. The chocolate will always sweat after you refrigerate. However, refrigeration isn’t essential to harden.
