Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, thoroughly washed and dried
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries gently under cold water and pat dry completely to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by its green leafy top and dip into the melted chocolate until half-covered. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.

- For an elegant touch, melt white chocolate separately and drizzle over cooled dipped strawberries.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
