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!
