Ingredients
  

1 pound of fresh strawberries (ideally medium to large, and well-washed)

8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

1 tablespoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for shine)

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Toppings (optional): crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Strawberries:

    Make sure your strawberries are completely dry by patting them with a clean paper towel. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.

      Melt the Chocolate:

        In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted (about 1-2 minutes in total). Avoid overheating to prevent the chocolate from seizing.

          Add Vanilla:

            Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract (if using). This will enhance the flavor of the chocolate.

              Dip the Strawberries:

                Hold a strawberry by the green stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. For a thicker coat, allow the first layer to set for a minute and then dip again.

                  Add Toppings (if desired):

                    Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings over the dipped strawberries, or roll them in crushed nuts or coconut for added texture and flavor.

                      Set the Strawberries:

                        Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue this process until all strawberries are coated.

                          Chill:

                            Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                Once set, arrange your chocolate dipped strawberries on a serving platter. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
