 Chocolate Covered Strawberries

How many of you LOVE Chocolate Covered Strawberries? I know I do, in fact, I love them so much that I admit there have been times when I have spent way too many dollars on them!

But they’re so easy and relatively cheap to make at home, and I can make a lot more than the 6-packs the boutique candy stores like to sell for $20 a box!

And with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there’s no better time to start making your own at home!

However, there’s always been something about Chocolate Covered Strawberries that I’ve always hated, and that’s that when you take that first bit, the rest of the shell cracks and falls away from the strawberry, therefore ruining the rest of the strawberry eating experience.

So this recipe solves that issue by adding a small amount of coconut oil into the chocolate. This keeps the chocolate softer after it sets and allows it to stick to the strawberry even when you bite into it.

I also like to add a touch of vanilla to my chocolate mixture because it intensifies the flavor a bit. It’s also fun to add sprinkles depending on the occasion or holiday!

This recipe will cover about 18 strawberries, but it can vary depending on their size. Always make sure to clean and dry strawberries before dipping in the chocolate.
