If you love Strawberry and Raspberry Tru Fru but don’t love the price tag, this homemade version is going to blow your mind. It’s shockingly easy to make and looks just like the real thing. Bonus: it saves a ton of money, especially in the summer when berries are on sale. These frozen chocolate-covered berries are the perfect treat for hot days, after-school snacks, or sweet bites straight from the freezer. The Tru Fru Raspberry is my favorite!
Store-bought Tru Fru is delicious but pricey — and it disappears fast! This homemade version uses just a few ingredients and comes together quickly. It’s a fun project to do with kids and makes a great addition to summer parties, holiday platters, or weeknight treats. You’ll get the same creamy, fruity, chocolatey experience — for a fraction of the cost.

FAQ
