Perfect for a romantic dessert or a simple indulgence, this recipe brings together two beloved flavors that are impossible to resist.

Ingredients: 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled 8 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) 4 oz milk chocolate 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for smoothness) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A pinch of sea salt (optional, for an extra flavor boost) 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, for texture) Instructions/How to Cook: Prepare the strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them (remove the stems). Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the chocolate sticks better. Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and milk chocolate with coconut oil or butter. Melt the chocolate by setting the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy. Dip the strawberries: Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's coated halfway or more. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before setting the strawberry down on a parchment paper-lined tray. Add flavorings: For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the chocolate-coated strawberries or top with chopped nuts for crunch. Let the chocolate-coated strawberries sit at room temperature for a few minutes to firm up slightly.
