Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries (washed and dried)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Toppings (Optional)
- ¼ cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or pistachios)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the chocolate berries do not stick after dipping.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip berries: Using a fork or skewer, dip each individual berry or small cluster of berries into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl to avoid clumps.
- Place & garnish: Place the chocolate-coated berries on the prepared parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle them with optional crushed nuts or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the baking sheet for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm and set.
- Serve: Serve the chocolate berry bites chilled as a refreshing, sweet treat or party appetizer.
Notes
- For variety, try using white chocolate or drizzle melted white chocolate over dark chocolate–coated berries to add a stylish touch.
- These bites make a great bite-size dessert or party treat that is easy to eat and share.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator until ready to serve to keep the chocolate firm and berries fresh.
