Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Nothing says ‘I care’ quite like homemade chocolate-covered strawberries—simple, elegant, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
• 8 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. If using, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same method, then drizzle over the dipped strawberries with a fork.
5. Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

The coconut oil not only makes the chocolate melt smoother but also gives it a subtle shine, making these strawberries as beautiful as they are tasty.

Tip: For an extra touch, sprinkle the strawberries with crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
