Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
- 4 tablespoons sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they're completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Hold a strawberry by the stem or use a fork, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling it around to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as the semisweet chocolate.
If desired, use a fork to drizzle the white chocolate over the coated strawberries for decoration.
Optional: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the strawberries with sprinkles or chopped nuts as per your preference.
Allow the chocolate-covered strawberries to set at room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
