Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 ounces dark chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
- White chocolate or sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Make sure the strawberries are completely dry; moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate: If desired, drizzle white chocolate over the dipped strawberries or sprinkle with your choice of toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Serve: Enjoy your delicious Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries as a sweet treat or dessert!
