Ingredients
- 3 cups dry alcohol of choice, vodka, champagne, Prosecco, sparkling white wine
- 5 ounces semisweet chocolate broken into smaller blocks or chopped
- 5 ounces milk chocolate broken into smaller blocks or chopped
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 pounds strawberries with stems, about 20 strawberries
- 2 ounces white chocolate for decoration
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
- Place strawberries in a large bowl. Cover completely with vodka (add more if needed). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 5 hours if time allows.
- Drain strawberries, reserve vodka for future use. Thoroughly pat strawberries dry with paper towel. (The chocolate will not stick if the strawberries are not dried well).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Pierce the stem-end of a strawberry with a fork and dip strawberry into the melted chocolate. Lift strawberry just above the bowl and twist around a couple of times to let excess chocolate drip off. Place strawberry on lined pan and repeat with remaining strawberries. Chill until the chocolate sets, about 15-30 minutes.
- To drizzle strawberry with white chocolate for effect: Melt white chocolate using the same directions as above. Dip the tip of a fork into the chocolate and drizzle in a zig-zag pattern over the dipped strawberries. Let set in the refrigerator for a further 30 minutes, or until set.

Notes
- Tip: For additional ideas to coat strawberries, dip strawberries into melted chocolate as above, then dip into crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, chocolate flakes or coconut flakes.
