MAKING CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES AT HOME
INGREDIENTS
1 pt. strawberries
2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or your preferred type of chocolate chip)
2 tbsp. coconut oil
DIRECTIONS
1. Rinse strawberries and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is completely melted.
4. Dip strawberries in chocolate and place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
6. Eat and enjoy!
NOTE: You do not need to use the coconut oil. The coconut oil will make the chocolate harden stronger, forming a shell. This shell helps the chocolate stick better to the strawberries. The coconut oil is the secret ingredient that the candy shops do not want you to know about!
FUN TIP: You are not limited to only dipping strawberries! Remember, the chocolate is hot, so you do not want to dip something too small and burn your fingers. Recommendations include apple slices, bananas, and pitted cherries help by the stem.
