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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
Step 6
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as the semisweet chocolate.
Step 7
If desired, use a fork to drizzle the white chocolate over the coated strawberries for decoration.
Step 8
Optional: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the strawberries with sprinkles or chopped nuts as per your preference.
Step 9
Allow the chocolate-covered strawberries to set at room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker set.
Step 10
Once the chocolate has hardened, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
