Dark Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
One of my favorite easy chocolatey treats to enjoy on Valentine’s Day are dark chocolate-covered strawberries.
They’re so easy to make and are much less expensive to whip up than buying pre-made.
Plus, it’s a fun activity to do with your loved ones!

They also only require a few simple ingredients
- Dark chocolate chips, chunks or a bar cut into pieces, melted
- Coconut oil to help the chocolate harden
- Strawberries, obviously!
- Sprinkles, if you want to spice them up
How to make them
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl on high in 30 second increments. Stir in between increments and continue to microwave until the chocolate and coconut oil are fully melted.
- Dip each strawberry into the chocolate mixture, then line on parchment paper and let dry and harden
- Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Easy peasy and such a fabulous, nutritious and chocolatey treat!
