Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries (about 15-20 medium-sized)

8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chocolate chips or chopped bars)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother consistency)

Toppings (optional): crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prep the Strawberries:

    - Rinse the strawberries well under cool water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry, as water can cause the chocolate to seize.

      Melt the Chocolate:

        - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn quickly.

          Dip the Strawberries:

            - Holding onto the green stem, dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s coated on all sides. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

              Add Toppings (optional):

                - If you desire to add toppings, do so immediately after dipping the strawberry in chocolate, while the chocolate is still wet. This will help the toppings adhere better.

                  Let Them Set:

                    - Once all strawberries are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.

                      Serve:

                        - Enjoy your delicious chocolate-dipped strawberries as a delightful dessert or treat! They are best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
