Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried

8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)

Sea salt (for garnish, optional)

1 tablespoon crushed nuts (almonds or hazelnuts, optional)

1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional for decoration)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Ensure that the strawberries are completely dry as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1.5-2 minutes total.

      Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves, and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

        Add Garnish: If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-covered strawberries or dip them into crushed nuts or sprinkles for extra flavor and texture.

          Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all strawberries are coated.

            Chill the Strawberries: Refrigerate the strawberries for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.

              Serve: Arrange the chocolate dipped strawberries on a platter and enjoy them immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Servings: 12 strawberries |

                  - Presentation Tips: Display the strawberries on a decorative plate or tiered stand for an elegant touch. For an extra flair, drizzle some additional melted chocolate over the top in a zigzag pattern before serving.
