Sunshine Delights Dippies Dark Chocolate Pineapple

Sunshine Delights Dippies Dark Chocolate Pineapple: soft dried pineapple half-dipped in dark chocolate

Sunshine Delights Dippies Dark Chocolate Pineapple are chunky pieces of soft dried pineapple, half-dipped in dark Peruvian chocolate, in a 100 g bag from Sunshine Delights, the Hamburg dried fruit brand. Pineapple and dark chocolate is a less obvious pairing than mango, and that is exactly why it works: the fruit's acidity cuts straight through the cocoa.

Why this one

Sweet, sour and bitter in one bite: the most complex flavour in the Dippies line.

Half-dipped: chocolate on one end, fruit on the other, so neither takes over.

High in fibre: still mostly fruit under the chocolate.

Chunky pineapple pieces: a firm, satisfying chew.

How it is made

The pineapple is grown in Thailand, picked ripe, cut and gently dried, then dipped partway into melted dark chocolate made with Peruvian cocoa and left to set. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Taste and texture

A clean snap of dark chocolate, then juicy-tasting, tangy pineapple. It is sharper and livelier than the Dippies Mango, which is rounder and sweeter, and lighter than the Dates and Cashew version. If you like a sour note with your chocolate, this is the one.

Who it is for

Dark chocolate fans who want something fresher than a bar. A grown-up sweet for the desk drawer. Mixed snack boards and gift boxes where it stands out next to the jerky.

Frequently asked

Is it very sweet? Less than you would expect; the pineapple's acidity and the dark chocolate keep it in check.

Is it vegan? The recipe has no animal ingredients; the product facts tab has the full details.

Will it melt in the post? Dark chocolate with a firm set travels well in normal weather.
