Ingredients

  • 1 large pink lady apple
  • 1 large Anjou red pear
  • 1 small lime
  • ¼ cup peanut butter powder *see note below
  • 4 teaspoons warm water
  • cup mini chocolate chips *use dairy free for vegan
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Pink & red Valentine's Day sprinkles *optional

Recipe notes:

Peanut butter powder: I like to use peanut butter powder mixed with water in this recipe because it has less sugar, fat, carbs and calories than regular peanut butter (and it's still delicious)! Find it at most grocery stores by the regular peanut butter, or buy it on Amazon. You can also use regular peanut butter in this recipe, simply microwave it a bit until it reaches a drizzly texture.

Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut your apple and pear into thin slices and place in a mixing bowl. Fill the bowl with enough cool water to cover all of your fruit slices.
  • Cut lime in half, squeeze juice into the bowl and stir. Allow fruit to soak for 5-10 minutes.
  • While fruit soaks, measure mini chocolate chips into a small, microwave-safe bowl. Reserve about a tablespoon of mini chips to sprinkle on top of your nachos and set them aside. Add coconut oil to the chips you are going to melt. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in-between, until fully melted.
  • Measure peanut butter powder into a small bowl and add water. Stir until smooth. If the consistency is too thick for drizzling, add a splash more water. If it's too thin, add a bit more powder.
  • Drain fruit and pat dry with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Arrange fruit on a large plate or platter and drizzle with peanut butter and chocolate. You may want to set your platter or plate on top of some paper towels or parchment paper to catch any mess. Add decorative sprinkles and reserved mini chocolate chips.
  • You can eat your nachos right away or store them in the refrigerator for a while to let chocolate and peanut butter set! Enjoy!
