Amy’s “Feel the Love” Chocolate-Dipped Fruit and Nuts

Makes a platterful

This artfully prepared yet simple dish is what Amy Nylund brought Lanell Coultas after Coultas’ son Hank was born. And it was one of her favorite food deliveries. “Every time I would open my fridge, I would see that platter, and I would just take one. It was beyond tasty and beautiful. You could taste the love—that each thing had been hand-dipped—and it felt like a hug from Amy every time I grabbed one.”
