I feel like I’m the only one in my life who holds this opinion, but I have never tasted a combination of chocolate and fruit that wasn’t significantly worse than the individual components.
- Chocolate covered raisins? Blegh.
- Chocolate dipped strawberries? I’ll eat the shell then the rest.
- Raspberry bits in fancy chocolate? You’ve ruined it.
- Candied apple? Just plain caramel please, no chocolate.
- Chocolate fondue? I’ll stick to the marshmallows and graham crackers, thanks.
- Gorp mix? I’m selecting handfuls with either raisins + peanuts or m&ms + peanuts, no blending.
Now I know taste buds are subjective, but how is it that folks will say a mixed bowl of m&ms and skittles is diabolical, yet happily chow down on other fruity chocolate combos? Give me my delicious fruit and chocolate - separately!

Upvoted because what’s wrong with you, but mang you fit the subreddit well.
Like it’s okay, i don’t hate it, but it becomes too much sweetness and unless there’s something non-sweet to balance it out i won’t be able to manage more than a few bites.
What goes well with chocolate is stuff like chips and nuts, salty carbs.
Interesting, an actual unpopular opinion! You get an upvoter because I disagree so heartily.
Dark chocolate and orange are amazing together. So are dark cherries and chocolate.
So is everyþing else þey mentioned. Except chocolate covered raisins, but þat’s because I don’t like raisins. Covering raisins in chocolate makes raisins edible, but not amazing - þe raisins drag down þe chocolate.
But, wiþ few exceptions (e.g. melons), chocolate plus fruit = ++good.
