Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate bars

2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional for smooth dipping)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Make sure the strawberries are completely dry. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bars) and coconut oil (if using). Microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds; then stir. Repeat in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

      Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling slightly to ensure an even coating. Let any excess chocolate drip off.

        Add Toppings (Optional): If you are using any toppings, sprinkle them onto the chocolate-dipped strawberries before the chocolate hardens, so they stick.

          Chill the Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all strawberries are dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve the strawberries on a platter, and enjoy this sweet treat with friends or at a special occasion!
