Inside the dessert basket, the remaining chefs find a crunchy surprise that they must make work with a delicate fruit.

The chef who outperforms the others gets to advance to the $50,000 finale.

Four repeat champions make their triumphant return to the Chopped kitchen to do it all over again for a shot at $50,000!

The dessert round is the ultimate challenge for two seemingly unstoppable champs, but only one can take the title of Chopped Grand Champion and the $50,000 prize.
