Chocolate covered strawberries

1 cup (175g) chocolate chips ((Note 1))
2 tsp vegetable oil ((or grapeseed oil, canola, peanut or other neutral oil) (Note 2))
500g / 1 lb strawberries ((~25 strawberries, depends on size, Note 3))
Desiccated coconut
Crushed nuts
Sprinkles
Other coating of choice

Line a tray with baking paper (parchment paper).
Place chocolate in a microwave proof bowl.
Microwave on high in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth (see video).
Pick up a strawberry by its stem, or gather up the leaves around the stem to get a grip hold on the strawberry.
Dip into the chocolate, rolling to coat most of it (see video), the place onto the tray.
Repeat with remaining strawberries.
If using coconut / nuts or other coating, dip into the coating then lay on tray.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
Best served within 12 hours of making. (Note 4)

Thanks for another great recipe, Nagi. Here in Florida, just about 1.5 hours north of me is an area called Plant City--the Strawberry Capitol of the WORLD!!!! While that might all just be a tourist promotion, I do intend to try this recipe as soon as those delicious berries are back in season. Just wanted Dozer to know never to eat the dark chocolate. It contains some compounds that are lethal to dogs, depending on their size. Looks like he is enjoying the chocolate-free berry. Try him on watermelon (no seeds). My dogs love it, especially during these hot summer days. (It's winter here now---85F .) Anyway, I always look forward to your fun, imaginative posts. Life is definitely a better place with you and Dozer in it!
