Create magical underwater-inspired treats with The Little Mermaid’s Dinglehopper (Chocolate Covered Forks). These whimsical chocolate-coated forks are perfect for themed parties, movie nights, or fun family desserts, adding a touch of Ariel’s oceanic adventure to your celebration.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 metal or plastic forks (preferably shiny to mimic Ariel’s dinglehopper)
  • 1 cup of high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (for decorative accents)
  • Food-safe glitter or edible shimmer spray (optional, for a magical finish)
  • Sprigs of edible seaweed or teal-colored sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting the chocolate using a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until silky smooth.
  2. Dip each fork into the melted chocolate, covering the head and handle generously. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. While wet, sprinkle with edible glitter or shimmer spray for a magical underwater effect. Optionally, drizzle with white chocolate for added detail.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until fully hardened. Use a rapid-chill tool for faster setting if available.
  5. Optionally, add edible seaweed or teal sugar around handles for an authentic mermaid look. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent melting and smudging.
  • Prepare ahead of time, up to a day in advance, for best results.
