Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried

8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped (or use chocolate chips)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Sea salt or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Strawberries: Start by washing the strawberries gently under cold water. Make sure to dry them completely with a paper towel, as any water can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.

    Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips) and the coconut oil (if using). Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat.

      Add Flavor: Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract for an extra depth of flavor.

        Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

          Set on Wax Paper: Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or your favorite sprinkles over the chocolate before it sets.

            Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.

              Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, arrange the strawberries on a serving platter and enjoy your delightful treat!
