### **3. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries**
Chocolate-dipped strawberries are a classic treat that never goes out of style. They are incredibly simple to prepare and are perfect for special occasions or just a treat for yourself.
#### Ingredients:
– Fresh strawberries, washed and dried
– 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
– 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for extra shine)
– Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the strawberries**: Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate. Any excess moisture can cause the chocolate to seize up.
2. **Melt the chocolate**: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted.
3. **Dip the strawberries**: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the strawberry on a sheet of parchment paper.
4. **Garnish (optional)**: Before the chocolate sets, you can sprinkle the strawberries with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
5. **Chill**: Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
These chocolate-dipped strawberries are a simple yet luxurious treat that combines the sweetness of fresh fruit with the richness of chocolate.
