Ingredients
- 1 lb (about 20) fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 4 oz white chocolate for drizzling (optional)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Toppings of choice: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.

- Chill: Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
