Taking a Look Inside the Fruit Medley

The fall season is normally associated with warm cups of coffee, pumpkin, and hot food, but lately, people have been discovering a new favorite. The Chocolate Covered Fruit Medley Wheel is one of Dilettante’s most popular products all-year-round but even more so in the cool autumn months.

Using a special chocolate covering technique where dried fruit is gently tumbled in special revolving pans. These pans coat the fruit evenly and easily, first with a blend of milk and dark chocolate in the middle before finished with a white chocolate shell on the outside for a delicious chocolate variety.

While the fruit is all made in the same way, the flavors are very different from each other. The Fruit Medley Wheel is a wonderful choice to bring to parties or family gatherings since everyone can find a favorite flavor.

Although the wheel displays pictures of fruit for each section of the wheel, it may still be difficult to figure out which color corresponds to which flavor. For those who have not tried Dilettante’ Fruit Medley wheels before, here are all the delicious offerings from a 36-Ounce Fruit Medley Wheel.
