Ingredients
  

For the Strawberries
  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries, washed and dried Ensure they are completely dry.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 10 ounces Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate Use chocolate with at least 70% cacao.
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil Optional, for smoother melting.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth. This usually takes 60 to 90 seconds total.
