Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bites Recipe
This dessert features fresh strawberries dipped in melted chocolate, creating a deliciously sweet and slightly tart flavor combination. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 12 bites.
Ingredients
- 12 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
- Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Ensure the strawberries are completely dry after washing, as water can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings over the chocolate before it sets.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve: Enjoy your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bites as a delicious dessert or snack!
