- 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20 strawberries)
- 8 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)

- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the berry.
- Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or add sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
