Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Place dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
Decorate quickly before the chocolate sets.
