Ingredients

• 10-12 fresh strawberries (medium-sized, with stems)

• ½ cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)

• 1 tbsp Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel

• ½ tsp coconut oil (for smooth melting)

• Optional toppings:

  • Crushed nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)

  • Shredded coconut

  • Sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries:

   • Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry, as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips, sea moss gel, and coconut oil.

   • Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.

3. Dip the Strawberries:

   • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate mixture, coating it halfway or fully.

   • Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the strawberry on a parchment-lined tray.

4. Add Toppings (Optional):

   • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or other toppings over the strawberries.

5. Set the Chocolate:

   • Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries on a plate and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
