Instructions
- Wash the strawberries, rinsing them well under cold water. Then, take a paper towel and individually dry each strawberry, ensuring there is no excess water. Place them on a layer of paper towels to finish drying completely. This is super important; if the strawberries are even the slightest bit damp, the chocolate will not adhere.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Assemble any optional toppings, if using.
- Place your chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals on 50% power, stirring after each, until completely melted.
- Take the strawberries one at a time and, holding them by the stem, dip them into the chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated, leaving a small bit at the top uncoated. Gently turn the strawberry to let excess chocolate drip off.
- If you are using optional toppings, roll the covered strawberries in the topping before placing them on the parchment-lined pan.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature until firm, about 15 to 30 minutes. Once set, you can drizzle with additional melted chocolate if desired.
Notes

- Chocolate: You can use chopped bar chocolate, chocolate chips, or chocolate melting wafers.

- Topping Ideas: Crushed nuts, toasted coconuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, graham cracker crumbs, crushed pretzels, drizzled chocolate.
