Wash and halve the strawberries. Peel and slice the bananas into 2cm thick pieces. Peel and segment the mandarins.
Thread the prepared fruit pieces alternately onto wooden skewers, creating a colourful pattern. Repeat for all skewers.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit skewers. Place the skewers in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Serve the chilled fruit and chocolate skewers as a delicious snack or dessert.
For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets to enhance the flavour.
You can experiment with other fruits like kiwi, grapes, or pineapple for different flavour combinations.
If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie method), ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water.
