Chicken Free Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Fresh strawberries dipped in silky dark chocolate are one of those treats that feel fancy but come together with just a handful of ingredients and almost no effort. The secret to that glossy, snappy shell is a small spoonful of coconut oil stirred into the melted chocolate — it keeps everything smooth and gives each berry a beautiful, even coat. Drying the strawberries completely before dipping is the one step you really can't skip, since any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize up and turn grainy. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet takes the whole thing from simple to genuinely impressive. The double-boiler method used here gives you total control over the heat, so the chocolate melts gently without scorching. Once they're set after a quick chill in the fridge, you've got a dessert that looks like it came from a chocolate shop — no poultry, no dairy, no fuss.
