This is so fast and easy to do; very festive looking for Valentine’s Day or any day!
Plus, it’s good for you too. Dark or semi-sweet chocolate offers several health
benefits, including supporting healthy cholesterol levels and promoting good blood
pressure. Rich in calcium and potassium, dark chocolate can also contribute to strong
bones while enhancing your mood. Strawberries, on the other hand, are a powerhouse
of vitamin C and antioxidants that boost your immune system. They’re also an excellent
source of dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to your diet.

Ingredients
Strawberries: 1 pound (washed and thoroughly dried)
Chocolate Options:
Dairy – 8oz of semi-sweet 8 oz. or milk chocolate chips – Non-Dairy – We carry dairy
free chocolate chips
Optional Toppings:
You can add crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sprinkles and/or a white chocolate drizzle
– be creative!
Instructions
Prep the Strawberries
Wash and pat dry the strawberries. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent the
chocolate from seizing.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Alternatively, use a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate over simmering water.
Dip the Strawberries
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate.
Swirl the strawberry to coat evenly, letting excess chocolate drip off.
Add Toppings (Optional)

Immediately sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sprinkles onto the chocolate
before it sets.
Set the Strawberries
Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let them set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to
harden.
Optional Drizzle
Melt white chocolate (dairy or non-dairy) in the same manner as the chocolate.
Use a fork or piping bag to drizzle over the hardened chocolate-covered strawberries for
a decorative touch.

Storage:
Store the strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Enjoy your delicious treat!
