The Ultimate Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

These chocolate-covered strawberries are a delightful combination of sweet and tart flavors. The fresh, juicy strawberries are coated in smooth, melted chocolate, creating a rich and satisfying bite that is both refreshing and indulgent.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
Toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries: Make sure the strawberries are thoroughly washed and dried. Any excess moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Add Toppings: If desired, roll the chocolate-covered strawberries in your chosen toppings or sprinkle them on while the chocolate is still wet.
Set the Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Serve: Enjoy your chocolate-covered strawberries fresh. They are best served the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two.
