Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 1620 berries)
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
  • 4 ounces white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

  1. 1. Prepare Your Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for optimal chocolate adherence.
  2. 2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
  3. 3. Dip the Berries: Hold each strawberry by its green leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Lift out and gently shake off excess chocolate before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. 4. Add White Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): If desired, melt white chocolate using the same method as above. Drizzle over dark chocolate-covered strawberries using a fork or piping bag for an elegant touch.
  5. 5. Let Them Set: Allow strawberries to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens or refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
  6. 6. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve on a decorative plate or share as delightful gifts with friends or loved ones.
