Ingredients
  

For the strawberries:

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries washed and thoroughly dried

For the chocolate coating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening optional, for shine

Optional toppings:

  • Chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Crushed pretzels
  • Sprinkles
  • Drizzle of white chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet and add toppings immediately if using.
  • Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed it up.
  • Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a fancy touch (optional).

Notes

  • Make sure strawberries are bone-dry or the chocolate won’t stick.
  • Use good quality chocolate for best flavor.
  • Serve the same day for best texture.
