These delicious kiwi popsicles are a healthy way to indulge your sweet tooth on a hot Arizona day!

Ingredients
6 large kiwis, peeled and cut into rounds that are ⅓” to ½” thick
1 cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup coconut oil
Lollipop sticks

Directions
Insert a lollipop stick through the edge of each kiwi slice. Place them on a tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper and freeze for at least four hours. Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil using a double broiler, or use a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water. You can also melt the chocolate and oil using your microwave at 50% power for 15-30 seconds at a time. Dip each frozen kiwi slice into the melted chocolate, covering evenly. The chocolate will set quickly, so you can snack on these refreshing treats immediately or refreeze to enjoy later.
