Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple
1 cup Wilton dark cocoa melts
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
12 maraschino cherries with stems

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple.
Slice the pineapple into rings, leaving the skin on.
Cut the pineapple rings into wedges and lay them on the cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the dark cocoa melts for 45 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until completely melted. Stir after each interval.
Dip a pineapple wedge into the melted chocolate. Lay on cookie sheet. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle with coconut and macadamia nuts. Gently press a maraschino cherry into the chocolate.
Repeat step 6 until all of the pineapple wedges are decorated. Cover cookie sheet loosely with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely hardened.
Serve within 24 hours.
