Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20-25 medium-sized)

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or a bar of chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for extra gloss)

1 tablespoon sea salt or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Strawberries:

    - Gently wash the strawberries under cool running water. Pat them dry completely with a clean paper towel. It’s crucial that they are dry, as any moisture can interfere with the chocolate coating.

      Melt the Chocolate:

        - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent the chocolate from seizing.

          Dip the Strawberries:

            - Hold each strawberry by the green stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to cover about two-thirds of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

              Garnish (Optional):

                - If you want to add a touch of flair, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or colorful sprinkles on the chocolate before it hardens.

                  Set the Strawberries:

                    - Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all strawberries are dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

                      Serve and Enjoy:

                        - After the chocolate has firmed up, your chocolate-dipped strawberries are ready to be served! Arrange them on a decorative plate and enjoy your delicious treat!
