Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries (choose ripe, firm berries)

8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa, chopped)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for a smoother finish)

1 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Sea salt (for sprinkling, optional)

Pink sea salt or edible glitter (for decoration, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries:

    - Rinse the strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. It's crucial to ensure they're completely dry, as moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.

      Melt the Dark Chocolate:

        - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.

          Dip the Strawberries:

            - Holding a strawberry by the green leafy top, dip it into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

              Chill the Strawberries:

                - Once all strawberries are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate set.

                  Prepare the White Chocolate Drizzle:

                    - In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as you did with the dark chocolate. If desired, you can add a touch of coconut oil to achieve a finer drizzle.

                      Drizzle Over Chocolate-Covered Strawberries:

                        - Once the dark chocolate on the strawberries has set, use a fork to drizzle the melted white chocolate over each strawberry in a zig-zag pattern.

                          Add Finishing Touches:

                            - While the white chocolate is still wet, lightly sprinkle with sea salt or decorative pink salt/glitter for an elegant touch.

                              Final Chill:

                                - Return the strawberries to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes to ensure the drizzle sets perfectly.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
