With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you’ll want to Pin this simple recipe! It’s a great one to make and enjoy with the children (and with your “Special Someone”).
There are a couple of tricks I share to make certain your chocolate sticks to the strawberry-please make sure to take note!
*Naturally GF
Place 2 cups of chocolate chips (your choice) in a microwaveable bowl. Add 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil and microwave for 1 min.
Take out and stir. Microwave 1 min more.
Rinse strawberries and pat dry.
Chocolate is done! The vegetable oil gives it a smooth texture….

We do chocolate dipped strawberries every.single.year for Valentines Day but I’ve never tried adding vegetable oil – interesting! Thanks for sharing Nelle!
And your Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe are in my oven as I type 🙂 Mmmmmmm…so thankful for you!
Love ya,
Courtney
So thankful for YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I loved it, the vegetable oil does help. thanks
<3
I have also used 1-2 T of Crisco for every cup of chocolate chips, that way when you put it in the fridge it has a harder shell. I have never tried using vegetable oil, I will try that this year!
Thanks for the tip!!!
Sure thing sweetie!
YUM!!!! Love chocolate dipped strawberries.
Yummy!!
SO glad your post just arrived in my in-box because you’ve been on my mind, Janelle. A young friend just gave birth this morning (yay!!). And I know she will be in need of meals (as well as support). And I know I would love to provide some. But I know I’m putting too much thought into it and it will cause me to over-think and not do anything. But I also know that you will know what to do! Thoughts? Thanks!
That is so wonderful Kendra!!!! Keep it simple, Girlie! Don’t over think it. Make something easy like Crescent chicken! That’s always a favorite!
One of my favorites! Yum! And that oil is the key to smooth chocolate. Thanks for posting. I know what I’ll do for Valentines dessert for my family. 🙂
How long will these last in the fridge if I make ahead of time?
2-3 days 🙂
