Ingredients

16 ounces fresh strawberries washed and completely dried
½ cup 60% cacao dark chocolate chips*
1½ Tablespoons coconut oil divided
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
¼ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Dry the strawberries. Wash 16 ounces fresh strawberries and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange on a clean towel and let air-dry for at least 1 hour (they must be completely dry for the chocolate to stick).
Melt the dark chocolate. Add ½ cup 60% cacao dark chocolate chips* + ½ tablespoon coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl (a cereal bowl works great). Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until smooth and fully melted. (Stop as soon as it’s melted - overheating can make chocolate thick.)
Dip the strawberries. Dip half the strawberries into the melted dark chocolate. Gently drag the bottom edge of each berry against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then place back on to a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet.
Repeat with semi-sweet chocolate (optional). If using two chocolates, repeat Steps 2–3 with ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips* + ½ tablespoon coconut oil and the remaining strawberries.
Chill to set. Refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate is set, about 20 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate. Add ¼ cup white chocolate chips + remaining coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Drizzle. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the strawberries using a spoon. For cleaner lines, use a pastry bag, a sandwich bag with a tiny corner snipped off, or a squeeze bottle.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Farm Girl Tips

*You can use all dark chocolate chips or all semi-sweet chocolate chips (or even milk chocolate), if preferred. There are no wrong choices when it comes to chocolate!

Store your chocolate strawberries in the refrigerator. They'll last just a couple of days, so get eating!!
