Chocolate Dipped Fruit (For Picnics)

lazyme's Note:

I've been looking for quick and easy picnic type foods for this summer. I found this one from The Best 50 Picnic Foods by Bob and Coleen Simmons, that looks simple and good. You can use any fruit that you like, such as strawberries, mango, melon, pineapple chunks, dried apricot, etc.
