Servings 12 Strawberries
Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) bag high-quality chocolate chips
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Wash strawberries then pat them dry with paper towels and place on a baking sheet or wire rack to completely dry. Do you dip the strawberries is they are still wet.Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.Temper the chocolate by adding it to medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Repeat until the chocolate is all melted and smooth. The chocolate may not look fully melted when removing the bowl from the microwave, but it will melt as it is stirred. Add the coconut oil and still until fully mixed and blended. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate. Lift the strawberry out of the chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl of chocolate. Then place the chocolate covered berries onto the parchment lined baking sheet to cool and harden. Repeat with the remaining strawberries. Place the remaining chocolate in a pastry bag or a zip bag. Cut off a small corner of the bag. In a zig zag pattern, squeeze the chocolate over the strawberries. Serve immediately.
