Try this Recipe for Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

1 pound of fresh strawberries

10 ounces of chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Instructions:

Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Choose the biggest and most ripe strawberries for better results.

Line a baking sheet or a tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a double boiler or using a microwave, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Stir constantly until smooth and creamy.

Holding the strawberries by the stem, dip them into the melted chocolate and coat them evenly. Use a fork to lift them up and let excess chocolate drip off.

Place each chocolate covered strawberry on the prepared tray, making sure they don’t touch each other.

Optional: sprinkle some chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sea salt on top of each strawberry before the chocolate sets.

Let the chocolate covered strawberries cool and harden at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. You can also chill them in the fridge for faster results.

Serve the chocolate covered strawberries as a dessert or a treat, and enjoy the delicious combination of juicy fruit and rich chocolate. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips:

Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate, or the chocolate won’t adhere well.

Use a good quality chocolate for better flavor and texture. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as white chocolate or milk chocolate.

If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use butter or vegetable oil instead. The oil helps to thin out the chocolate and prevent it from seizing.

You can also use a piping bag or a ziplock bag to drizzle melted chocolate over the strawberries in a decorative pattern.
