Additional recipe notes
REMEMBERRR! Here are a few tips to make this snack more enjoyable Use good quality dark chocolate . Since this recipe has very few ingredients, the flavor of the chocolate really matters. A 70% dark chocolate gives the best balance with the strawberries. Do not skip the coconut oil . Even a small amount helps the chocolate melt smoothly and set properly once frozen. Without it, the chocolate can be harder to spread and break unevenly. Freeze until fully set . Make sure the chocolate is completely firm before breaking it into chips. If it’s still soft, it will bend instead of snapping. C hop the strawberries finely. Smaller pieces release just enough juice to create a salsa without becoming watery. Adjust sweetness to taste. Strawberries vary a lot in sweetness. Start with less honey and sugar, then adjust as needed. Serve cold . The contrast between cold chocolate and fresh strawberries is what makes this snack work.
