Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries (preferably large and ripe)

8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for shine)

Sea salt (for garnish, optional)

White chocolate (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. It’s critical to ensure they are completely dry, as water can interfere with chocolate coating.

    Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler over simmering water.

      Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat it evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate-covered strawberries before the chocolate sets. For an extra touch, melt white chocolate in a separate bowl and drizzle it over the dipped strawberries for a beautiful contrast.

          Let Set: Once all strawberries are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

            Serve: Transfer the chocolate-covered strawberries to a serving platter. Enjoy them fresh for a delightful treat!
