Ingredients
  

  • 1 16- oz. container fresh strawberries preferably organic
  • 1/2 c. 60% cacao dark chocolate baking chips*
  • 1 1/2 T. coconut oil , divided
  • 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips*
  • 1/4 c. white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 c. pecans , very finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or a Silpat™ baking mat. Set aside.
  • Thoroughly clean strawberries. Dry strawberries with paper towels or clean kitchen towel. Place on the prepared baking sheet pan and allow to air dry for one hour or until completely dry.
  • Place dark chocolate chips and one-half tablespoon coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate chips 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between each segment, until melted and completely smooth.
  • Dip half the room temperature strawberries into the dark chocolate until covered. Gently drag the bottom edge against the side of the glass bowl to remove excess chocolate before transferring to the baking sheet.
  • Optional: If using two types of chocolate chips, repeat Steps #3 and #4 with the semi-sweet chocolate chips, one-half tablespoon coconut oil, and the remaining strawberries.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate completely “sets,” approximately 20 minutes.
  • Place the white chocolate chips and the remaining coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between segments, until the chocolate is completely melted. Carefully drizzle the melted white chocolate over half the chocolate strawberries with a spoon.
  • Place the finely chopped pecans in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Dip the bottom of remaining strawberries in the melted white chocolate and then dip into the bowl of chopped pecans. Swirl until the bottom of each strawberry is completely coated in the nuts. Transfer to the baking sheet with the other strawberries and return to refrigerator until set, approximately 20 minutes.
  • When the delicious chocolate is firm, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Use either 1 cup dark chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips, if preferred
