Calories 80 kcal
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, for a smoother finish)
Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the Strawberries: Holding a strawberry by the green stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is coated well. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Set on a Baking Sheet: Place the chocolate-covered strawberry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the dipped strawberries for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy your chocolate covered strawberries immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
