Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Fresh Strawberries large, with green stems attached
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips high quality
  • 0.5 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil or vegetable shortening for a glossy finish
  • Optional Toppings pink sprinkles or crushed Valentine's Day Caramel Pretzel Bites for extra crunch

Equipment

  • Microwave
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Paper Towel
  • Fork

Method
 

Prepare the Berries
  1. Wash your strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Use a paper towel to pat each berry dry individually.
Melt the Chocolate
  1. Place your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session until the mixture is completely smooth.
The Dipping Process
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Hold a strawberry by its green stem or the leaves. Dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling it slightly to cover most of the red fruit but leaving a tiny bit showing near the top for contrast.
Drain the Excess
  1. Lift the berry up and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Lightly scrape the bottom of the berry against the edge of the bowl to prevent a large puddle from forming on the tray.
Set the Base
  1. Place the dipped strawberry onto the parchment paper. Repeat this with all your berries until the tray is full.
The Decoration
  1. Melt your white chocolate in a separate bowl. Use a fork or a small piping bag to drizzle thin lines over the hardened dark chocolate.
Chill to Harden
  1. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.

Notes

These Valentine's Chocolate Covered Strawberries are best enjoyed the same day they are made. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in a single layer, using a loose piece of wax paper over the top to prevent moisture buildup.
