Chocolate-Covered Strawberries by Healthy Recipes Blog

Strawberries and chocolates — two Valentine's Day staples combined into one irresistible treat! Chocolate-covered strawberries are a classic go-to dessert that's not only easy to make, but also provides a healthy and delicious snack. 

All you need are some firm strawberries, dark chocolate chips, and avocado oil. Start by lining a plate or tray with wax paper. Then wash and pat dry the strawberries and melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. 

Once melted, stir in the oil and then dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate. Lift up and twist around to get rid of any excess chocolate before placing on the wax paper. Finally, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving up these decadent goodies.

For an added bonus, opt for medium-sized strawberries instead of large ones. While bigger looks more impressive, they don't always have the best flavor. Medium-sized strawberries tend to be much sweeter, making them perfect for this special occasion!
