# Top Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes less time than deciding what to watch on TV, but tastes like you hired a pastry chef.
  • You can customize the toppings to match any occasion, from elegant pistachios to playful sprinkles.
  • The skewers make them party-friendly and way less messy than traditional dipped strawberries.
  • They work as a romantic gesture, a last-minute potluck save, or just a Wednesday night treat.
02 -
  • Wet strawberries are your enemy, the chocolate will slip right off or turn into a clumpy mess, so dry them like your dessert depends on it.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate or it will scorch and lose that smooth, glossy finish, low and slow wins every time.
  • If your chocolate gets too thick while dipping, stir in a tiny bit more coconut oil to loosen it back up.
03 -
  • Use a tall, narrow bowl for melting chocolate so you can dip the skewers vertically without wasting chocolate.
  • Freeze the strawberries for 10 minutes before dipping if you want the chocolate to set almost instantly.
  • Save any leftover melted chocolate and toss in some pretzels or banana slices, nothing goes to waste in my kitchen.
