Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1 cup chocolate chopped bar or chips
- chopped nuts or flakey sea salt for topping
Instructions
- For best results, use strawberries at room temperature. Wash and thoroughly dry the berries with paper towels, and lay out on a dry surface until ready to dip. Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Prep your chopped nuts or flakey sea salt (if using) and set out in small bowls near your "dipping station".
- Melt the chocolate using the microwave or a double boiler method. In the microwave, heat the chocolate for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. OR on the stovetop: place the chocolate in a glass bowl and set over top of a pot (smaller than the bowl) filled with boiling water. Stir the chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate, swirling up and into the air to allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Dip and roll gently into the chopped nuts, if using. Lay the strawberries flat on the parchment paper and sprinkle with additional toppings or flakey sea salt. I like to use a spoon and add a drizzle of extra melted chocolate over top for a pretty look.
- Allow the chocolate to harden, then enjoy! Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container lined with paper towels so they don't get soggy.
Notes
- Use your favorite bar of chocolate, chopped, or any chocolate chips you like. The brand Hu makes great chocolate bars that can be found on Amazon or Thrive Market, or in stores like Whole Foods. Enjoy Life makes great dairy free chocolate chips that we use most often.
- Get creative with your toppings! Try any chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, peanuts), sprinkles, sea salt, crushed graham crackers, or a drizzle of another chocolate like milk chocolate or white chocolate.
