Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20 medium-sized)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips (or milk/white chocolate as preferred)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries; moisture can prevent chocolate from adhering properly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring in between until smooth.
- Holding each strawberry by its green stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it on parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle toppings over the wet chocolate while it's still tacky.
- Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Serve chilled on a platter and enjoy!
