Dole Dippers Fruit and Chocolate Snacks Are Perfectly Portable

— March 16, 2015 — Lifestyle
Those who appreciate health, indulgence and convenience wrapped up in a single package have probably already tried these fruit and chocolate snacks from Dole. Dubbed Dippers, this line of chocolate-covered fruits contains portable packages of four bite-sized fruit snacks that are covered in rich 67% dark cocoa.

Options in the line of fruit-covered snacks include chocolate-covered strawberries and bananas, plus an extra decadent option coated in chunky nut pieces. Although it would be easy to make these snacks on your own at home, it's hard to resist the pre-packaged snacks, especially since they're portioned to provide anywhere from 60 to 120 calories.

Since the Dole Dipper packs can easily be tossed into the freezer before they need to be transported, this is a tempting snack for both kids and adults alike.
