Chocolate Covered Kiwi Pops

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.

Chocolate Dipped Kiwi Pops

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!
