Chocolate covered strawberries are one of the easiest and most elegant desserts to prepare. The combination of sweet strawberries and rich chocolate is irresistible. They are a perfect treat for Valentine's day, weddings, birthdays, or any other special occasion.
I remember the first time I made chocolate covered strawberries for my boyfriend. It was our first Valentine's day together, and I wanted to surprise him with something special. I went to the grocery store, picked up some fresh strawberries and high-quality chocolate, and got to work. The result was amazing, and he loved them! Ever since then, I have been making them for all our special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate, chopped

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted.
