Maybe this year we try something different.
Something that contains the natural enzymes to break itself down and won't cause serious weight gain after the holidays, oh yes, Chocolate Dipped Pineapple.
You can use pineapple or strawberries or any other fruit you love that is grown local to you and is in season (preferably organic).

To make about 24 Pieces use 1/2 a pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 24 chunks. I have always encouraged dark organic chocolate, and you can get it from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. You will also need some chunky sea salt.
Use skewers to hold the chunks of pineapple and arrange them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Heat your chocolate, stirring constantly until it is just melted and dip your pineapple skewers in. Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel before dipping into your melted chocolate covering just half way. Transfer them to the baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
Save some time by setting this up fondue style and let your friends and family make their own!
You will come in at about 60 calories per serve, measure that up against a piece of pie :)
