Hands down, one of the best things about fruit is the ability to eat and enjoy the natural sweet flavors without facing any snacking guilt later on. Sweet and yummy fruits make it possible for us to enjoy naturally sweet treats in a healthy way, without having to worry too much about feeling heavy or even guilty after snacking. This is especially important in the hot summer months. Just because it gets hot outside doesn’t mean your sweet tooth chills out and you need a snack that can not only satisfy that craving but one that helps cool you off and that you can feel good about eating afterward. That’s where delightfully light and sweet treats, like th ese Watermelon Bites Dipped in Chocolate, come into play!

Yes, chocolate-dipped watermelon bites! The delightful taste of the staple summer fruit with a little extra sweetness to take the unbeatable flavor to the next level! After dipping these fruit bites in the irresistible chocolate, you can add coconut flakes, sprinkles, sea salt, or nuts to add even more flavor and a little bit of a crunchy texture to make an even more satisfying snack! Thanks to the combination of the cool and refreshing watermelon mixed with the delicious chocolate and crunchy snack exterior, this simple treat makes for the perfect refreshing summer snack! These yummy fruit snacks are fantastic for serving at summer parties, pool parties, picnics, playdates, cookouts, or just to enjoy during yard work breaks. 

To make refreshing chocolate watermelon bites, all you need is: a seedless watermelon cut into 1-inch cubes, chocolate chips, coconut oil, garnishes, a candy melt pot, and a few other common kitchen tools. After cutting the watermelon, heat the chocolate and oil in the candy melt pot until completely melted. Then, dip the watermelon cubes halfway down into the melted chocolate and immediately garnish before the chocolate starts to harden. Transfer the garnished chocolate watermelon bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sit in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
