First things first, bring water and sugar to a boil. Add in pineapple rings, and let simmer on low heat for 45 minutes. Stir and flip the slices occasionally.
It’s time to transfer them to the oven! At this point, the slices should look caramelized and glossy. Once they’re on the baking pan, bake at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60-90 minutes.
The rings should look softly toasted and a little gelatinous. Remove the slices from the baking pan, and let them cool on a wire rack.
When slices have completely cooled, coat them in a bowl of granulated sugar.
Now for the fun part! Heat up the chocolate candy melts according to the directions on the package. When your melt is ready, dunk in the rings! Top off with some sprinkles, and let harden on parchment paper.
YUM. I love how they look like mini delectable donuts (:
Serve them in a bowl.
Or line them up. Bon appétit!
