Anyone who knows me, knows I don’t do complicated when it comes to cooking. I do, however, do delicious—and that’s what these are!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Strawberries
1 C. Coconut Oil (I use this brand)
¼ C. Honey
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 C. Cocoa Powder
1 ½ C. Sweetened Coconut flakes

DIRECTIONS

Wash and pat dry strawberries.
Pre-melt coconut oil in microwave until softened but not completely liquid.
Stir in honey and vanilla.
Slowly stir in cocoa powder.

* If you prefer a thinner chocolate texture, or the oil based mixture hardens somewhat while you’re making your treats, you can pop your bowl in the microwave for a few seconds or until you get your desired consistency.

Put coconut flakes into shallow plate.
Roll each strawberry first into the chocolate mixture and then into the coconut flakes.
Store is refrigerator.
