Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 16-20)
- 8 ounces high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cool water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels; moisture can ruin the chocolate coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by its green stem and dip into melted chocolate, swirling gently for an even coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle toppings over the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Refrigerate dipped strawberries for about 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens completely.
