Instructions

1. Prep the strawberries
   Make sure strawberries are completely dry. Moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.

2. Melt the chocolate
   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate cubes and coconut oil.
   Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
   (Or use a double boiler for more control.)

3. Dip & swirl
   Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate.
   Swirl gently to coat. Let excess drip off.

4. Set the chocolate
   Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
   Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
