For the toppings:
Chopped nuts - almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts are great options.
Shredded coconut - adds a nice texture and flavor to the strawberries.
Sprinkles - for a fun and festive touch.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the strawberries
Wash the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate. Removing the stems is optional, but it can make the strawberries easier to dip and eat.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove.
Step 3: Dip the strawberries
Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate and swirl it around to cover it completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off and place the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Add the toppings
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings on top of the chocolate covered strawberries. You can also drizzle some extra chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
Step 5: Chill and enjoy
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Once they are firm, take them out and enjoy your homemade and romantic chocolate covered strawberries with your significant other.
In conclusion, making chocolate covered strawberries at home is a simple and thoughtful way to celebrate Valentine's Day. Not only will your loved one appreciate the effort you put into making them, but you can also customize them with different toppings to make them even more special.
