Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs. Strawberries
  • 5 oz Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Instructions
 

  • Melt chocolate chips and the coconut oil in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until completely melted. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, make sure to keep the green stems clean. Let them rest on a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to catch the excess chocolate drip.
  • Put them in the fridge to let the chocolate harden for at least 30 minutes. Once the chocolate has hardened, enjoy, or keep refrigerated.

Notes

Remember to use a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate. If you don't want to use the microwave, you can use a double boiler. Just remember to stir constantly when the chocolate is being melted.
To get the perfect chocolate dipped strawberries, use high quality chocolate for the chocolate coating. Gourmet chocolate is a great choice.
Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before you dip them in the melted chocolate. This will ensure that the berries are perfectly coated. You can use a paper towel to wipe off all the excess water from the surface.
For best results, use semi sweet chocolate instead of the sweetened variety. This will help the natural sweetness of the fresh strawberries shine through.
You can use frozen strawberries for this recipe too, if that's what you have at hand. Just remember to get them at room temperature before you use them for the recipe.
Remember to add toppings on the chocolate dipped strawberries while the chocolate still hasn't set yet.
To minimize the mess and cleanup afterward, I would highly recommend setting a sheet pan lined with waxed paper under the wire rack. This prepared baking sheet will catch all the excess chocolate dripping off the strawberries.
