Snacking In The Parks: Chocolate Covered Strawberries Dole Whip Hack

Take a look at this beauty! Chocolate covered strawberries with with a dole whip! No, this is not the latest Disneyland creation but one you can make yourself!

I started this simple hack by purchasing a strawberry and chocolate cup from Tropical Imports in Adventureland and then headed off to purchase a dole whip. I then took a seat over at the Jolly Holiday and took the stems off the strawberries and placed then to make it look as visually appealing as I could. Then I drizzled the chocolate from the chocolate cup all over the strawberries and dole whip! That's how simple that was! Dig in and enjoy! You're welcome!

Grilled Pineapple With Rum Reduction Sauce Recipe!

 

Servings 4

 

Ingredients:

1 pineapple, ripe
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rum

Directions:

1 Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
 

2 Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
 

3 Allow the pineapple to macerate in the brown sugar for anywhere from two hours to two days; refrigerate if macerating more than a few hours. The pineapple should release enough juice to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
 

4 Heat the grill to medium heat.
 

5 Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
 

6 Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
 

7 When the pineapple becomes caramel colored on the bottom side, rotate it. Repeat for each of the 3 sides of each wedge, then remove from the grill.
 

8 Pour the juice from the bag into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to a thick syrup (be careful of flare-ups during the first minutes since there will be alcohol from the rum and vanilla extract).
 

9 Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.
